My 2 month old green cheek conure has been pooping a brownish/ olive color poop. I guess this color is because of the food she's on (zupreem fruitblend pellets.). I just figure it doesn't hurt to ask your opinion. Thank you.

Any food that has dye in it will cause discoloured poops, as will certain foods. [emoji4]

Yes what they eat impacts what they poop. Fruitblend as mentioned has dye. My birds eat zupreem natural maybe you can try to switch over to a brand without dye. Also just a heads up, watery veggies and fruit leads to watery poops. Don't be alarmed, just learn when to expect changes like this.

Good advice in above posts - different foods and colors make different poop colors and consistencies.

IMHO Zupreem Fruit Blend is a misleading and unbalanced diet for birds. I feed it as a rare, minimal treat. It has artificial colors in it and it's really not a wholesome balanced pellet formula (I would recommend Harrisons and Goldenfeast Golden'Obles pellets as a main food). Kudos to you for double checking for your feather baby! It can be alarming sometimes when their stools aren't their usual so it's always good to double check like you did!
