Brown mutes

[Beastdawg]

Today i noticed instead of the normal black and white mutes they are brown and white does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Did your bird have a particularly bloody meal? When my bird eats something like a quail heart, all bloody and such, she usually has some brown, almost frothy looking mutes.

that is exactly what i was going to ask first, have you changed the diet

[robhawkyyz]

go to the modern apprentice.com and in the health section under mutes it gives examples and photos of what and why on mute coloration...

When I feed my girl whole quail, I get some nice big brown fecal matter.

I get the same thing when I feed pack rat or quail. if the diet changed then I wouldn't worry. If it hasn't then does the bird look sick or acting funny. If so then I would get a crap sample to the vet

They are back to normal now
