    Dis-colored Droppings?

    Well, ok, heres the deal. Recently, i got my bird Chachi, And very Worried because i just started a new diet for him, Zupreme Fruit Blend and a little seeds, (And fruits and veggies of course) And the seeds are fiesta, and im not worried about that, but his droppings, have a red to it, like a orangy color, but before, they werent, when i was feeding him regular pellets... Maybe its the colorful pellets? Help!? PS the surround of it is like a red...

    Yep, the fruit pellets will make their droppings whatever color the pellet they are eating - red, orange, green, yellow... it's the dyes. You can use zupreem natural if it bothers you, or roudybush or harrisons, which are all dye free. It doesn't mean anything is wrong though.

    Bloody droppings are usually a dark red, or you can sometimes have blood in the urate (which, no matter what they eat, should always be WHITE) - it can be scary when they eat something and it makes it red though.
