They are lovely birds Slightly off topic but yes it is not advised to give your budgies lettuce very often if at all as it has no reall nutritional value and can give them the runs. I have been known to give my budgie lettuce leaves occasionally but I try to get romaine lettuce and it is mainly for them to rub themselves on as a sort of mini bath

It seems to happen sometimes. He definitely has because I checked the security log.

Thanks for the scour explanations all.
I'd hear the word used for cleaning, like scouring a pot, or scouring wool, and couldn't figure out how that would apply to an animal.
So I looked it up. For livestock, it also means runny poop.
scour, scourĀ·ing, scours
1.To clean, polish, or wash by scrubbing vigorously: scour a dirty oven. 2. To remove dirt or grease from (cloth or fibers) by means of a detergent. 3. To clean (wheat) before the milling process. 4. To clear (an area) by freeing of weeds or other vegetation. 5. To clear (a channel or pipe) by flushing. v.intr. 1. To scrub something in order to clean or polish it. 2. To have diarrhea. Used of livestock. n. 1. A scouring action or effect. 2. A place that has been scoured, as by flushing with water. 3. A cleansing agent for wool. 4. scours (used with a sing. or pl. verb) Diarrhea in livestock.
