Message-ID: <52451@eerie.acsu.Buffalo.EDU> Date: 19 Dec 90 21:49:22 GMT Sender: news@acsu.Buffalo.EDU Organization: CSH Groupies, inc. Lines: 13 Nntp-Posting-Host: lictor.acsu.buffalo.edu My Cockatiel (who is about 3 months old or so...) has begun to exhibit rather watery droppings. He is eating a seed diet (supplemented with petemine (sp?), some pellets, and a decent amound of "people" food. Mainly he likes pasta and tofu.) He is alert and seems happy. Is there something wrong with him, or is this to be expected? The droppings are brownish surrounding a whiteish centre, and then expelled with a surprising quantity of clear liquid i am assuming is water. (Enough to wet an area perhaps the size of a quarter.) Any suggestions? --
