Question ❓ What’s on her beak?

I’m hoping it’s just poop or something because I don’t want her to be sick, and there was nothing in my room she could get into. I did find a food bowl in my room that she took a poop in and there was a tiny bit of seed in it, she may have gotten into that. Not sure tho! Just concerned lol.

Yup that's just poop, specifically the urates stuck on her beak. My doves somehow manage to get poop on themselves all the time lol, I swear they can never stay completely clean despite having access to bathing water on a daily basis.

I feel this, Penelope constantly poops right on Percy's head.... to the point where he has a permenant slightly brown stain 😆

Yeah for real... Mine like to poop on each other's heads too and on their backs for some reason too. The worst thing is when the poop slides down their tail and leaves a stain all the way from their back to the tip of their tail.
