What should be the color of an african grey's droppings and urea?

I used to have an African Grey and his droppings were usually white with black and green and some yellow in them..What should be the color of an african grey's droppings and urea?
There should be:


clear liquid (urine)


creamy white urates


green to brown fecal matter (poop)





The ';poop'; can vary widely in colour depending on what he's been eating. It can be bright green when eating a lot of green vegies, to brown when eating uncoloured pellets, to any colour of the rainbow if eating coloured pellets.





For this reason, and others, I don't recommend feeding a bird coloured pellets. It makes it difficult to tell if anything is wrong. Your Grey's droppings are your first indicator of their health status, so keeping them away from artificial colours is best for them and you.What should be the color of an african grey's droppings and urea?
They are usually green with white but it matters what they have ate. If they eat something other than their usually diet it could be different color. If you feed them something salty it could be watery because it makes them thirsty. Don't feed them something salty it's not good for them.
Mostly green with some white. As previously stated, it can depend on what they eat. One day, my Macaw decided to eat only her RED pellets.


It wasn't pretty...
green with some white in it.
