Hi my quaker parrot took a poop on my couch this afternoon. I heard a noise like a fart or something so I looked at it. It had lots of bubbles. Now he has had bubbles in his stool a few times since I have gotten him, thought not frequent or simultaneously. I might of even asked this question on here before, a long time ago. Is there a way to tell if it is just gas or something more? Thanks. Oh and he is not acting any different. Here's a pic but I couldn't get the camera to focus very well. It looks to be just urates.

This has probably been asked many times before, and I apologize, but I wanted to share this photo and see if there is a way to determine if it's gas or not. Thanks again guys

Actually, I don't know that it's ever been asked lol. Occasional poop with bubbles is normal, in fact, on rare occasion I too have heard "bird farts":52:. Not loud, but an "air passing" sort of sound right before the stool.

If bubbles are really happening often, I'd get it checked out by a vet, as it could indicate an infection.
