Alright,
So i've been around my little Sun Conure since he was 2 months, he's now 8 months old, he was on a seed diet (with fruit and veggies) for about 6 months of his life and his poo was always a dark green colour which I assumed to be normal.
I then changed his diet to a pellet (Vetafarm Nutriblend if that means anything to anyone, they're rainbow coloured) and a few days later his poo became a lighter green colour, again I assumed it to be normal.
About 2 days ago however I switched him to another Vetafarm pellet diet, it's a south american mix which is recommended to be fed to conures and his poo has now gone to a light brown sort of colour, the last few poos have been this colour so it wasn't just once off and they've both had a little spot of red in them. His veggies haven't changed and I can't think of any reason he would be bleeding, no different behaviour at all, the only change is the colour.
Should I be concerned? I'll be talking to my vet tomorrow when I go to work but in the meantime is there anything I should do? Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carp
