An apparatus for the collection of animal feces utilizing two oppositely disposed arms which are used to sweep and collect feces and allow a user to more easily collect feces into a standard sized collection bag without touching the feces or feeling the texture of the feces through a bag. The apparatus further has either a sweeper or a dust pan at a distal location of the arms to perform the function of collecting the feces when the apparatus arms are squeezed together. During non use, the animal defecation collection apparatus has a collapsible sweeper blade and collapsible dust pan blade that fold and allow the apparatus to be more compact when stored. Further, there is a locking mechanism to allow the arms to be retained together to be more compact during storage.
