It is just the way that birds evolved. Birds do not have a separate opening for the urinary tract so both uric acid and feces come out of the same opening. The uric acid is excreted as nitrogen waste.
To test it out put them on top of a dresser or high bed and hold it and start sliding it of but make sure you are holding it and if it starts shaking it is and if it is not, then it is not..

What is the gestation period of a doves egg?
Eggs hatch 17 to 18 days after laying. Mom and Dad take turns sitting on the eggs and then staying with the chicks after they hatch. Both parents feed them. Ours are now 8 days old. They are getting their feathers but not big or strong enough to fly. I was very concerned Sunday night/Monday morning because the babies were left alone all night. But Mom came and fed them Monday morning before I left for work. The parents are staying fairly close, but they aren't spending as much time in the nest. That might be because the chicks are getting a good coat of feathers and not as much down.

What is better to have as a pet bird a parakeet or a lovebird?
Well, it depends on what size bird you want. Obviously, parakeets are larger and seem to be louder. Lovebirds have a softer, more high pitched voice. Lovebirds do a loud, even higher-pitched voice when they want to get attention. Lovebirds are affectionate, so you'd better get two to keep each other company. Parakeets are larger and are the birds you can train to talk.
