Something has been worrying the birds at night the past few days, climbing on the aviary roof after dark. Whatever it is makes little brown/dark tan round poops which land in the bath water. They are quite sticky little poops, smearing when I try to remove them and needing a bit of a rub to get them off completely. What kind of critter is this?!

I think ring tail possum,maybe wrong ,but have lots at my place,be careful not to get it into your water supply,as you don't use antibiotics to make your birds strong ,it could be devastating to your flock,garyh.

Everything i know rats, mice, possum has elongated poo like rice. Never came across anything with round poo.Finchy wrote: Whatever it is makes little brown/dark tan round poops which land in the bath water.
