Bird Feces


When birds dookie, do they also pee?  I mean I've never seen one cock up its leg and tinkle.  I've only seen them dump drop while in mid flight.  So is there both pee and the poop in a single aerial bombing? 

I looked up the answer.  According to exoticpetvet.net (real website), bird dookie is made up of 3 parts.  Part one:  the turd, or as they call it the "feces."  The second part is the white stuff called the urates.  It's a result of protein metabolism and comes through the kidneys.  The third part is the urine. 

Hope this helps
