My little birds kiki (female) and zephyr (male) have been having yellow and red/ orange urine! I’ve tried giving them veggies for two weeks to see if it helps (spinach, lettuce, carrot) but it doesn’t seem to help clear it up! They also get a food mix of pellets and seeds the pellets are coloured. And they have coloured dyed toys like popsicle sticks. And I literally don’t have the money to hurt them help since my father has spent a lot to get my cat help. Is there any home remedies to clear it up I love them and it would kill me to see them die!

We can't diagnose over the internet with so little information (can't really diagnose at all because we aren't vets) The only thing I can suggest is to quit giving them any colored pellets.

It does look like colourings leaching from something they're eating. Definitely hold back on the coloured pellets, carrot and watch what coloured wood they may be chewing on.

Are the fresh poops like that or is the urine clear with the fresh poop after a while the colour of the poop reaches and mixes with the urine.

Next time they do a fresh poop check to see if the urine is clear.

If you remove all dyed food, all orange and yellow food, and all dyed toys for a day or two and they still have discolored fresh poops, then a vet is my suggestion. The only way to "clear it up" is to get to the root of the problem
