PH>Does anyone have any experience with Moluccans and how often and how much
PH>they poop? This one I have seems to be producing an aweful lot of it and
PH>I have no idea if it's normal or not. It looks like it's doing it five

PH>white and brown to white and black and sometimes is all brown. I had the

PH>I was giving the bird half an apple each day and I have stopped doing that

Birds poop A LOT. Color variation is very often caused by what the bird
ate. If she's eating pellets, that can cause a lot of the colors you're
seeing. Black can be caused by dark-colored berries. Before you panic,
think about what she's been fed. As for the apple, don't stop feeding it
to her--the juice in the apple can cause the poop to be watery, but this
is NOT diarrhea.
