I never thought I'd be this preoccupied with POOP! LOL!
Per all the instructions I've researched, I'm hyper concious of Percy's poop and inspect it daily for changes, etc. Sometimes it's watery but I can always tie that back to fruit or once, a big fright.
This however is different - please see pic and let me know what you think? It is not a curled ball like normal, the whate part is runny and there seems to be lots of urine (more than usual). He HAS been making lots of 'soup' today so he may have gotten in more water than usual.
Please let me know when you guys start worrying about poop. I seem to worry every day at some point! Paranoid, that's me:eek:

It is a bit watery, but I wouldn't be overly concerned unless it is frequently this way.
Even then it would be cause for investigation, not necessarily a problem.

Ive had my amazon for over a year now and the first year, I worried like crazy over poop.
Now i pay attention, immediate concerns are bloody poop, black tar poop and diarrhea lasting more then a few consecutive poops. Almost everything else can be contributed to diet.
If you see a pattern that you don't like eg too runny, yellow urates etc then it is time for testing but not life and death.Which I would recommend anyways for every parrot to get a baseline on health.
