    		"For psittacine and passerine birds, there are usually three parts to a dropping. The urine is the clear liquid portion of the dropping. The consumption of vegetable and fruit matter will cause increased urine due to the higher water content they contain. Unlike mammalian urine, it is usually colorless.

    The next portion of a dropping consists of the urates or uric acid. This is the thicker part that is normally white or cream colored. It is the product of protein excretion from the kidneys. The last portion of the dropping is the feces. This is food waste material from the digestive tract. It can vary in color and consistency depending on the diet. Diets high in seed content usually result in black or dark green feces. Birds on formulated (pelleted) diets normally pass softer, brown feces."
