I woke this morning to Glimmer having large amounts of red watery poops. She's not acting lethargic or any different than normal.

She did eat a large amount of watermelon yesterday. Are birds like rats in that if they eat red they'll poop red?

Often what they eat will change the color of their droppings, so it could be the watermelon, or even a dyed toy she’s been playing with.

No problem! Real red blood color, like when you cut your finger, would be a problem in the lower GI, black, tar like droppings would be blood in the upper GI track. If it’s just reddish, it’s probably diet.
