Quite a while back we got some mixed balsa blocks from Karen at The Natural Bird Co.
The middle of last week, as I was cleaning up, I found a very unusual blue-green poop. It was the kind that didn't look as if anything could be naturally wrong, and was soon traced to the chewed piece of blue balsa that was hanging off a mirror in the cage.
The blue poos went on for a few days until the balsa was chewed enough to fall to the floor of the cage. I just left it there then, intending to remove it when I changed the paper the next morning. Only, Munchy decided that he wasn't done chewing it and when he woke up the next morning went to shred it some more.
I ended up picking him up to show him to OH and getting Munchy to open his beak to show OH his tongue. He looked like he'd been sucking a blue lollipop!
It was very comical, but I think we might stick to undyed balsa in future.
