Stringy and sticky ish urates? My bird's poops sometimes look kind of stringy/sticky. I'm aware that's not normal but he's already been taken to the vet twice. The ER vet said his poop looked perfect and that he is very healthy. I've already set up an appt with an avian vet but he's only available once a month on weekend. So I have to wait till 2 more weeks. I've showd this to my siblings but they think it's normal. Maybe I'm just worrying to much I will post pics as it's really hard to describe. The stringy/stickiness is coming from the urates, it's not the whole poop that's stringy. I check his droppings mushing them with a stick with a toothpick. It has a web like consistency but the color of the droppings look fine. Is it normal to see some level of stickness? The green part of the poop breaks apart easily, it's just the urate. I've had birds for 10 years and I feel like I should know this by now but I've just been so hyperaware of my bird's health lately and it's causing alot of anxiety.Does anyone have an explanation? I'm going crazy and being hypochondriac doesn't help
I've attached some pics below. I can't find enough information abouy this online. I've read that poops can have mucus and is normal but then I also see alot of conflicting infirmation.
Weight - weighs anywhere from 85 to 87 depending on tiem if the day
His diet consists of seede, roudy bush pellets, sometimes cooked quinoa with peppers, I offer him veggies atleast 2 or more a week. He eats green bell peppers, spinach, bellpeppers, and occasionally broccoli.
