How do birds actually pee?

Birds don't actually pee as humans do — they remove urine, salt and other waste products from their bodies through a process called ururalization. Urine is passed out of the body along with droppings and other materials. The salt and minerals that make up the birds' uric acid is passed out through their kidneys in an amber-colored liquid, which then mixes with water to form the bird's drinking fluid.

Birds excrete uric acid through their kidneys and the waste passes out of their bodies through a process called urination. In birds, this occurs by way of a single opening known as the cloaca, which is located at the end of the digestive tract. The cloaca serves as both an entrance and exit for bodily wastes, including feces and urine. The two are usually excreted separately but can combine to form a single discharge that comes out in small amounts over a period of time.
