Poops...what do they REALLY mean

[amyable]

Interested to see that article about Milk Thistle. I've just bought some tincture from Boots to try for my dog who has high liver enzyme count.
I was going to check it out with the vet first as he is on anti-biotics as it does say ( obviously relating to human usage), to check first if on any prescribed medication. (Just in case the pigeon is going back on anti-biotics).

Sorry I don't have any more info on it at present but it is supposed to be beneficial for liver problems.

There is an very good write up at this link http://www.kakariki.net/ftopict-59.html
It explains how you can check your birds at home with simple equiptment and a kids microscope. I thought it worth mentioning.

I have learnt so much reading this thread...thank you......

I had a fantail dove that I thought was a cock bird..........so one morning I opened his loft to let him out and he dropped one of those mega big poops your talking about & I nearly fainted.........I grabbed him & raced to the vet.....
The vet stuck his finger up his clacker & said to me who said this bird is a cock bird.......I told it was actually another vet.....

With that the vet burst out laughing and said well this is a hen & there is an egg in there.....OMG....I cracked up.....
I bought her home and sure enough she laid an egg.Hahahahahah

I just wanted to thank you for this thread because yesterday I noticed that my new Frillback which I have only had for 5 days was doing bright green Poo.........She is around the 40 day old mark..........
I remembered your thread here about Poo & jumped on the puter & there was the word 'Starvation'............
I also rang the breeder I got her from & he said the same thing.........she's was not eating enough......funny thing she was eating by herself but not enough...So I crop fed her last night & this morning and the Poo is now almost a dark green, getting back to normal........So thanks guys.....I love this place. x x x
