Thanks for reaching out about your bird. There are yellow pigments in the yolk that can be eliminated in the kidneys that produce the yellow urine/urates. Try discontinuing the egg to see if this returns the urine to normal color. If not, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and check for liver disease (also a cause of yellow urine). Good luck.

    Thanks for reaching out about your pigeon. Not sure this is from chopped egg shell unless the egg shell was not cooked and could be a salmonella infection. Greenish-yellow stool is a common clinical sign of intestinal infections and/or liver disease and a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
