If they have just been drinking and you pick them up, you can accidentally squeeze water from their crop. I have seen my birds drool every one in awhile and I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean anything. Everyone drools every once in a while.

ok. I watch them drink and drool. I drool in my sleep

I had noticed a puddle of warm water near the waterer...it was warm and their waterer was cold, so I was sure someone just drooled. I was concerned too and came looking for info. But now that I read it, I had just picked someone up AT the waterer - so makes sense that it was drooled after I picked them up. phew.
