Is there anything I can feed them to make the ones in the back garden poo brown to match the decking and the ones at the front poo black to match my car :-) ??

Probably 'cos they don't like brown bread!!!!
I wish their poo was black to match my car - or green to match my husband's!!!!

All about Poop!


Hold on 'til the autumn when they've been on the berries. It'll come out purple, but it's a happy medium between brown and black.

'Spose I'll just have to paint the decking and change the car then!!

Talking of berries - it drives me nuts when our Elderberry tree has lots of berries on it! The birds always seem to quirt purple droppings over the sheets & duvets - never on anything small!


My husband trimmed it down somewhat a month ago, so hopefully this year it won't be so bad!

The white is high in ammonia and is basicaly the urine waste - which is why it stains/marks so easily. 'Solid waste' is is the darker mass.

Yep, it says all that in my link too nickmo - what a subject!
