That is the funniest thing because Annabelle did that this morning too! I saw her sniffing and licking something while we were outside. I moved her to see, and it was a fresh pile of bird poop! Her nose was white with it, gross! I took her in and washed it off.

What are you feeding your little one? In some cases they are looking for more nutrition in their diet..as weird as this is.

Bird poop contains a high amount of uric acid which is what animal protein is broken down to by dogs. Maybe that is why they like to eat it.
