Normal or not normal droppings???

[kiwi_and_emma]

Hi I have recently noticed that kiwis poop has become very watery, and I am kind of worried I already talked to my parents, and they said that they would take her to a vet but to maybe check it out just in case I am being paranoid. (heh). Thank you to anyone who would respond. (if the link doesn't work it is also in my album).

Looks abnormal as not the typical green/white. However, droppings will safely vary depending on recent food consumption. Were these droppings the result of fresh veggies and/or fruits, or is this baseline with seed/pellet diet?

It was a pellet and seed mix( supreme fruity blend)and some spray millet.

Whenever my parrots eat supreme fruity blend, their droppings tend to change from green to light green/orangy :/ and the texture itself is softer and not as bouncy as when they eat Harrison’s pellets or veggies/fruits(sorry for the details, but the tissue picks up Harrison’s droppings better than Supreme droppings ). If I mix supreme with Harrison’s, it goes back to normal

So I shouldn't be worried about a bacterial infection? She's acting normal extremely happy and playful and screaming when I leave the room.

Try changing the diet a little and see if that helps. If the droppings don’t change, i think it’s better to run some tests to be on the safe side. Hope it’s nothing and your bird is healthy ����

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet, although exceptions do exist!
Sometimes, it helps just to Google "avian veterinarian - [YOUR LOCATION]"

At minimum, change your bird's diet over to Zupreem Natural or any pellet without dyes. See if that improves things.

Dyes in food can alter color of droppings. I used to feed Zupreem Fruit Blend Pellets and found the birds who preferred red and green pieces had altered droppings. On days when fresh veggies/fruits given, more typically green/white.

BB looks similar too..he eats fruity blend and a special cockatiel seed blend,with a small piece of millet for treat. He also likes Bird Street Bistro stuff.
