The Curse of the tiny Poop

Postby PapayaTheConure » Sat Jul 30, 2011 9:14 am

I know parrots are supposed to have big droppings. However, Papaya my GCC lets one loose every few minutes. The droppings are tiny and are aroumd the size of a budgie's. I would prefer her to have the normal size poop of a GCC. What can I do?

:amazon: Rambo leaves a train of tiny dropplets. The smartest critter in the house and will not control himself.

:amazon2: Myrtle shows a little more control. She holds it better than Rambo but when she goes it is quite visible and messy.

Feed her vegetables and fruits just don't feed it avocados or anything that can kill your parrot.

I really think it depends on how recently they last ate. Ollies are massive first thing in the morning and tiny after that until a while after he has eaten when they become slighty bigger again. They gradually go down in size until he has eaten again.
Nothing you can do about it I'm afraid, you could have a go at potty training if you wished if its bothering you that much, theres a good thread on it on here somewhere.
