OK, so every morning I take Pita out of his sleep cage....we go into the shower....he goes on his shower perch.....and he does his morning "Poop Bomb"

This morning it took him forever, and then when he did poop it was hardly nothing. He is acting normal. I checked his cage to see if he pooped in there which he never does......should I be concerned?

Sounds normal to me...we have 3 birds that never poop in cages (Hahns, CAG and GW) Sometimes, morning 'bombs' are minimal. Especially if we've put them to bed later than usual.
How much seed is Pita eating before bed? that can be one reason for small monring droppings.

It all depends on what happened the night before. The poop bomb is no guarantee. lol

Maybe he just didn't eat a lot you know.

If it's just once and he's pooping normally later in the day, I'd say it's nothing to worry about.

Gayla, I would keep an eye on Pita's droppings during the day. Are they normal?

Good news. Tonight when I put him to bed, I checked the bottom of his sleep cage again. I have a dark towel on the bottom, and I found the morning poop bomb. So all this was for nothing. He's an exceptional, accomplished pooper.

Great news, Gayla! I was going to ask you if it was possible he pooped on the way to the shower. Calvin has done that every once in a while... but his morning bombs are... well, kinda like a St. Bernard size so it is hard to miss!

(Here's Calvin for those of you who don't know him)

Okay, so if non bird owners saw this threat they would think we were pretty loopy, lol. The title made me chuckle because we only understand each other. It's totally common for us though.

I have to admit that I was a bit stunned when I read this myself :confused: I was thinking, she measures the bird's pooh?!

I read the poop link and understand this better now. I had to run go check KerBears papers:rofl:
