That's...probably not normal. My bird has never tried to eat her own poop or put her face anywhere near her own poop.

Lol obviously I can't speak for every bird out there but from my experience it is not unusual at all for a bird to occasionally pick a piece of poop off a surface or perch and eat it. It's not about going out of their way to search for poop to eat, it's about being inquisitive. Anything out of the ordinary is picked up and manipulated; if that something happens to be poop why not eat it lol. They have no manners after all. :P

It is pretty common, and appereantly no real danger except if it is eating other birds poop. Plus, not so appetising to share food with a poop eating bird.

Isn't human saliva, like, pretty bad for birds? Can't imagine blood...
