African grey baby poops little?

Question

still formula

fledged

only eats apple

his p**p seems to decrease by a great amt.

can this be a sign of disease?

he's active still

Answer 1

Try to offer him a good pellet mix and no more apple until he starts eating other foods.  He should be offered the pellets in his cage all day.  Try to track the amount he is eating.

Once you get him on pellets then start to introduce vegatables and last fruit.

They p**p approximately once every 17 minutes so don't expect the poops to be huge.

Answer 2

He needs to eat more than apple, that's not nearly enough nutrition for a baby bird.

You can find formula to mix with water at most pet stores.

Answer 3

How long has this been going on, 1 day that is nothing, 2 to 3 days that is a problem. Birds are very very good at hiding problems, this could be a very serious sign. You should check with your breeder and a Avian Vet, if it continues. You should keep a log of it's weight and weigh it every morning before feeding. This is another good sign of a problem.
