Zippi & Drummer Cockatiels I live in Wales uk My name is Jan	My parrotlets poo looks different for each of them! Bit like saying all peoples is the same it isnt. Whats normal for one bird isnt for another. As long as his doesnt change much its normal for him also it changes with different foods they eat. Sorry but I think your worrying too much. Relax or he will pick up on your vibes.

Those sorts of colour Id imagine are normal. My p'lets eat alot of fruit and veg so I guess that's why it turns green. Like when we pee that's different colour depending on what fluids we have had. I would imaging all the 'earth tone' colours are fine, red is a colour I would worry about.

Boo, for instance, always has poo that is more watery and green, but that's OK for her. She's had several exams at the vet and she is healthy. I think what happens with the green liquid part is that when they first poo, the liquid is clear, but then is mixes with the green poo and takes on that color. That's what I've observed anyway, so I wouldn't worry. Maybe Zooky is like our Boo :)
