What is this guys???

[Abdullah]

TODAY Am was Feeding MISO my African grey ,
after 1 Hour I Found This !
HE Dropped this out !!!!!!!
this is first time i see something like this ???

 

[Cydney]

I definitely haven't seen it but hopefully someone will be able to offer some help soon. Are there any vets that see birds near where you live?

The red worries me, as does the seemingly hard structure to it. Have his poops been normal up to this point? How old is Miso?

 

[Lahdeedahdee]

Never seen anything like it...

 

[suncoast]

It looks like blood. Do you have access to an avian vet? Has your bird eaten anything red in the last 24 hours?

Differently blood in the poop and because it is so red, I would say close to the end of the tract...
Here are some sites that may help a little:

I'm wondering if this couldn't be "lead" posioning...
Can you "cut" that long ways in half to "feel" the texture? is it soft/hard does it have "something" inside the mass???

I am giving you a diagram of the intestinal track of birds...

Here's a typical avian digestive system:

[SIZE=-2]Source: http://numbat.murdoch.edu.au/Anatomy/avian/fig4.1.GIF
The major components of the avian digestive system are the alimentary canal plus several accessory structures. The 'canal' includes the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus (which includes a crop in some birds), stomach (proventriculus & gizzard), small intestine, & large intestine. The large intestine then empties into the cloaca. Important accessory structures include the beak, salivary glands, liver, & pancreas.

What have you been feeding your grey with in the last 12-16 hours?

What type of cage is he in...I'm still wondering if this might be a result of lead poison....[/SIZE]

 

[Billie Faye]

Personally, I would take the bird to a vet along with the "thing" ASAP....

 

[Birdiemarie]

This may sound crazy but are you sure your grey is a boy?

Am was feeding him a banana and Sunflower seeds .

 

[Abdullah]

YES AM SURE !!
Why you are asking me about this ???

 

[Birdiemarie]

YES AM SURE !!
Why you are asking me about this ???

Just in case it was a very strange anomaly that was passed instead of an egg. It's very unlikely but I wanted to ask in case you weren't sure he was a male.

 

[Billie Faye]

Becasue when first viewed I think we all thought it was an "egg" form that hadn't gone right...
Also 11 weeks old and just getting banana and sunflower seeds is not enough food for a bird to survive on...Black poop is also a sign of starvation beginning...because the liver is not getting enough to food to work properly....
What is the daily intake of food for your Grey...it is not old enough to be compleletly weaned....could you give us a run down of the foods given to it and how much per day? How much does your bird weigh in grams?

 

[Anne & Gang]

yes, it could be related to eg g binding, but if you are sure your baby is a male then definitely..either way..off the the vet..asap..that does not look good or normal.! please keep us posted.

Please take the bird with you so he can check out the bird and how it "feels" muscle/tone wise...
Please let us know what happens!
