Would could be the cause of a bird having blood in its feces(or more in its urates not exactly feces)?
Yeah Bokka LOVES red bell pepper. And yesterday he had a feast of red bell, fresh winter squash (not cooked, fresh) and red palm oil. But this is the first time I ever saw a speck of red in his urates. His poop was whole and formed but red on the urates. Just a droplet, but it clearly looked like blood and I am sure it was. But he is acting normal, chewing up wood, screaming, being his usual self, EXCEPT he does NOT act like he wants to masturbate. Infact he hasnt really shown much interest in it for the last several days. And that is his only change in his behavior. He is typically all in my face every evening before bed, wooeing for me, but the past few days he has not shown a sign of this. Which is unusual.A number of things can cause blood in the droppings. Bacterial infection is one. Metal toxicity. Something sharp passing through the digestive tract, etc. No use speculating. Blood dictates a visit to the vet ASAP.
Hve you fed anything red in color? For instance - Cactus Pear can turn dropping bright, blood red.
You think that may have been it? I never thought of this.. when he does get into it he does get into it... But I am kind of skeptical. This hasnt happened before. He "lets loose" daily, so I do not think he would of rubbed himself raw out of frustration and tension.I would see if you see any more in the coming hours....could be he has "rubbed" himself "raw"????? Have you turned him over and checked his vent for a tear or sore?
Im thinking it has to do with his kidneys or possibly metal toxicity again. If its metal toxicity he can get better, but he does have kidney problems, so if its them, well...hoping and praying its nothing bad
