My little girl had bird seed poop for the longest time. I found that there are a few
things that play a major role.
1. Change his food. My little girl can't tollerate certain brands or types of food.
2. Try wetting his food down. If he's having intestinal problems his body may not
be able to obsorb the dry kibble. It may need a breakdown boost.
3. Ask your vet about deworming.
I had to supplement my little girl's diet with babyfood for almost a month because
the lack of nutrients from the birdseed poop made her under weight. The vet
recommended deworming, which fixed her problem.
