My Mom had a double yellow head amazon hatch 11 March, and my stepdad found him on the floor, cold. He was probably close to death. But, he was rescued, and my mom's been feeding him baby food since then. He's growing like a weed, getting stronger, but his poop is pink. Was wondering, could he maybe have suffered internal injuries when his dad dropped him out of the nest? Does he perhaps need a little yogurt, to aid in digestion? He eats like a horse, and seems fine other than the pink poop- HELP!!!  |

Which part is pink, is it consistently pink and what exactly is he eating? If he is eating well, growing and otherwise seeming okay I wouldn't have thought he had internal injuries but it is hard to say.

I posted a handout in the FAQ section. look there for an example (possibly). You could start off with a trip to an avain vet with a stool sample to start.

Thanks, you guys- you're both always so very helpful. I truly appreciate you guys caring enough about other people's birds to go through the myraid of stuff on this forum. I know, you wish you had a nickel for all the thanks you got ;D
Well, seems my Mom, through the owers of deduction, has concluded that it was the chemicals in the paper towels that made it pink. She says that it was clear to begin with, but turned pink after sitting on the paper for awhile. Whoda thunk?
Thanks again... ;D

Well that is a relief! I am glad to hear it turned out to be something entirely innocent. Keep us updated on his progress.

Wow. What kind of paper towels are you using? Just so I know which one to never wipe my face with. Anything that can turn bird poop pink shouldn't be on my face.
You might want to switch to newspaper or plain newsprint. It's way easier to cover a Grey-sized cage with and doesn't get blown all over the place when they flap if you lay it down right.
