So I checked Oz' droppings this morning and he had diarrhea. So I changed the sheets and have been checking every hour or so and now I came face to face to this:

It's hard to tell from this pick, but a part is muddy brown and the other is black, I'm really worried =(

Take the bird to an AV asap. Black feces could mean liver failure or bleeding and green ureates could mean liver or kidney issues.

Urates are still white, the green part are the diarrhea he had beforethat one he had in the last hour. The most recent ones were greenish yellow.

Hard to tell from your picture, but try to identify between true Diarrhea and Watery droppings....

This is what he looks like right now, usually at this hour, he's full of energy.

First ones of the morning where definitely diarrhea, most recent ones were watery droppings, judging from your pic. What worries me most is the black diarrhea one (it's huge, too).

Yours kinda look like watery dropping: broken feces, excess urine......

I wouldn't panic just yet, but make an vet apt for tomorrow. I would not feed fruits until then either.

You know your bird more than anyone though. If your gut feeling tells you something is wrong, then you need to go to an emergency avian vet.....hopefully one is open on labor day...

Here: we can see the watery droppings around what I'm pretty sure is diarrhea:

Yeah, it's all his. His droppings were perfectly fine yesterday.

What have you been giving him to eat??? That's something to consider as well! At anytime your unsure and to have a peace of mind, please do contact your vet clinic. Cockatiels can go downhill really fast....

He still wants nothing to do with the fruits and vegies so at the moment he's on a seed/pellet diet.

I'm not a vet, but the smaller ones look fine to me, which says that he seems to have normal poops in between the large one. The first dropping of the day is always big....

However, looking back at your postings since you got him, you were worried about his droppings then too. You really need to have him checked out to put yourself at ease with it.

He's had watery ones, then the big one and then back to watery this morning.

I also woke up at 10:30 which means he didn't sing this morning like he usually does since he's then one who wakes me at 8 ish.

He does seem slightly better thought, he's started his occasional 'let me out' cry and nibbled on a few toys.

The closest open vet is 2 hours drive away. My town's emergency vet (the one currently on call) doesn't treat bird, the other one does.

Fees are 150$ for service then add to that the cost of test he deems necessary.
