This is what Scrub Jay poop looks like
I'm sure it's something you've always wanted to know.
I poked it with a stick, for science, yeah, that's it!
But when a Jay's gotta go, he's gotta go. 

(I really did poke the poop with a stick - it was from a bird who is having a health issue, and when I saw him poop, I was curious as it looked weird. It was surprisingly rubbery. I need to find out if that is normal. I thought it would be kind of liquid like what they do on my windshield at inopportune times.)
