Why dont adult birds defecate (poo) in nice little packages2007-11-24 17:27:06

.baby birds do..it helps their parents take away the faeces without messing up the nesting area.It sure would be handy for thoses unfortunate enough to have to clean up bird mess from cars and statues etc.?

Answers:

Birds eliminate out of one exit: it's called the vent. The waste has three parts, the urine, the feces, and the urates. That white stuff is the urates and it is the concentrated uric acid from the kidneys.

I seem to be answering a lot of questions about bird poop lately. But I am a companion parrot behavior consultant, and I have 3 birds at home. So I'm quite familiar with the stuff.

Hahahahaha. What a strange question. Good job!

Yes I wonder! I wonder too why you don't see bird poo on the pavement - it seems they just aim for cars, windows and peoples heads.

because they are animals and animals do not do what humans do

Kaylee. I used to have a Mynah Bird that did anything but small packages. Had to clean it out daily! Yuk! Perhaps someone should invent a bird nappy! G. xxx

I think you mean big birds like pigeons or starlings. They have increadible aim if you park a car under a tree or happen to walk under one.

I think the reason is that they have just one hole and the watery stuff can be mixed up with the solid waste.

I would imagine it's because the babies have their food chewed up and then reguritated by their mum but as they grow they just eat any old crap. I am sure our poo would be like that if we tried to eat everything we found on the floor!

You are a nice little "Bird" yourself !
