Blood in the feces?

Blood in the feces? There are several things to consider when you believe that something is wrong with a parrot’s droppings. You should know if they have been eating beets or cherries or another food that discolors poop.

Another thing that might frighten you is completely harmless. Be sure and check the other side of the newspaper where you found the unusual color. It might be ink on the other side as in the picture below.

It does look like blood but it is from the print on the other side.

Remember that checking the poop daily is our obligation as concerned parrot parents!
