Red poo

[sssaucey]

So basically I just want to ask if a lovebirds poo can be dyed because of the color of her pellets, shes on zupreem fruit blend at the moment

I recently noticed that a couple of her droppings have pinkish to light red coloring to them(like where it is usually white), she has pretty solid poo and it doesn't look like blood to me

anyways thanks in advance, and as a side note she doesn't eat anything fresh yet she scared of it

Yes, colored pellets can change poo color, as well as fruits/veggies. (River poos red after he eats red peppers)

thanks, shes my first bird so I get nervous quick

Well we're always here to help! As Rio's Mom said, heavily coloured foods can change poo colour, such as blueberries, etc

I was just as concerned with my first Lovebird at the sight of the red poo. As everyone else has said it's completely normal with pellets, although if you mix in seeds (which should be done) it's usually not too bad.

Well I def appreciate it, and ya she also has her seeds

I just got her and i'm already addicted to birds and want another one lol

I don't blame you, they are addicting

It's funny though because I was never interested in smaller birds, but when I saw her I new I had to have her

I'm thinking for my next birds maybe a pair of budgies, or another lovebird
who knows maybe both lol
