Glad to hear they’re feeling better! My money would have been on the dyed cuttlebone coloring the stool. My bird has red poops when he eats red bell pepper, and red poops when he eats beets - I wonder what they’re dying the cuttlebone with, but that’s cumin colored poop, and bird toys should use food based dyes so it could be that!

The loose stool could very well be a tummy upset, but it could also be some underlying gut issue. Our boy has been struggling with bacterial overgrowth due to poor gut biome, so ask for a fecal at your next appointment for sure.
