Dude says "what's feces?"hahahahahahahaa!Yes I'm quite sure hummingbirds would produce feces since they are a living creature that needs to expel waste.If they don't , that would be something.

---

yes

---

Actually birds don't have seperate openings for urine vs feces. It all comes out of the same spot. Not sure if bird droppings are considered "feces" or has another name?

But yes, all birds produce waste material.

---

Yes of course they do.

---

I would think so, because they eat. If they are only drinking nectar, there should be some kind of feces. They wouldn't retain it.

---

Of course they do. Any organism that takes in food has to be able to excrete waste, otherwise toxins would build up in its body and soon kill it.

---

Every living thing poops one way or another. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta go.

---

They do produce feces. If they eat something, the 'waste portion' of what they eat must necessarily come out of their bodies in the form of feces.

i have a feeder too and like yours,,its clean .i think they can drop some and be down at the next block before that * hits the ground!

---

Yes, their "feces" is mixed with their urine, and produces small white droppings like any other bird. I have a feeding hanging outside on my balcony, and they sometimes "go" while feeding and it does sometimes end up on my railings.but most of it drops one story down onto the grass.

what goes in must come out

---

if they eat then they must sh it

---

I think they do as they Hummmmm

They would have to. they have to get rid of it someway.or else they could blow up!!
