if you notice that your bird's poop is abnormally yellowish or tarry-black, it can be a sign of severe health problems that need prompt veterinary attention.

Facts about droppings

Birds digestive systems and naughty bits don’t work exactly like ours or most other animals'. Instead of dropping and peeing separately, they basically do it all in one weird mess.

There’s a lot of nitrogen in the white portion of bird droppings, and it acts as fertilizer for the ground.
