Abstract
The lower intestine of birds (coprodeum and colon) is a common storage organ for faeces and urine. Resorption of electrolytes, some organic nutrients, and water takes place during the intestinal sojourn of the excreta. Urine is regurgitated into coprodeum and colon from the urodeum, and may even reach the caeca (Skadhauge 1981).
