Marley is a five month old Green Cheek Conure. I do not know a gender but but for the sake of a pronoun, I will call it a he. He has been eliminating normally, yet it's been bright red because some of the pellets he eats are red. He is fed pellets, seeds, with apples and grapes. When I uncovered him and let him out this morning he did his "out of cage morning elimination", yet it was much smaller, not red, and he gave a weak chirp whilst he did so. He didn't seem to poop as much, and he seemed to strain once by moving his tail up and down, but has since started pooping normally (albeit not red). Yet now when he poops, it looks smaller than normal and it's still not red. He's very active and cuddly, and his personality has not changed at all. I'm afraid something may be very wrong.

When in doubt take him to an Avian Vet. That is the only true way to know that he is well or not.

Yes, he needs to see an AV but, please do not free-feed a GCC colored pellets or seeds, these birds eat mostly fruits in the wild. Mine eat huge amounts of fruit every day and just one level tablespoon of a budgie seed mix for dinner.
