Do birds get...

... constipated?

Here's the story:

While leaving the house for campus this morning, I noticed a small sparrow sitting near the top of the steps by the door. I thought to myself, "Wow, this bird is pretty tame to just sit there with the door only 1.5 feet away, and me standing here."

Then, over the course of the next 5 minutes I discovered that this bird would continue sitting there doing absolutely nothing while I nudged it around with my finger(?!). I was patting its head and everything, but it just sat there turning its head from side to side. Not until I actually started lifting the bird off the ground did it decide to fly away... revealing a blob of wet bird <insert word of choice> where it had been sitting.

I guess it wasn't too happy that I had disturbed its #2, hehe ;)
