Messy Bottom xXx

:) My gorgeous little girl Greengrass seems to have poop stuck to the feathers of her bottom. There's loads of it! There's also seed stuck to her too. Someone suggested giving her a bath with warm water and washing it off? :S

Gosh, don't you hate it when little sweeties get poopy stuck to their bums? Are the vent feathers around that area messy? Or are they just solid poops stuck to your sweetie's bum? If they are solid, that is quite normal for young budgies. If however the vent feathers are all stained from watery poop, then you may have a health problem on hand and would need to bring your sweetie to the vet.

And yes, you can wash their bum with warm water, just be gentle and don't tug at the poop. Just let it "dissolve" with the warm water.

Good luck! My budgies would never let me go near their bums!!

If it's a lot of poop that's a sign of sickness because in a healthy budgie they just drop. I had a budgie with this problem once and she needed to be medicated.

Has your budgie been having too many greens to eat. If your budgie is not used to having a lot of greens, it can upset their tummy and give them diarrhea.

The poops seem to be solid but Green is an older bird. She also has'nt had too many greens to eat either. :)
