Good Poo and Bad Poo

[chucky]

Ok i was looking closely at my birds poo.And it doesnt look like it did when i got him he eats a pellet diet with veggies/fruits.He is a GCC and is almost 9mos. old his poo is the 3 different colors of white kidney secretions,clear urine,and green poo but the problem is his poo isnt tubular no more but looks like a glob of green(when you take away the kidney,urine secretions that is)his actual poo the green stuff isnt tubular but when you look at it you can tell it wanted to be but came out more like a pile than a tubular poo.I know it sounds weird but i was worried and know its now diarhea or what not cuz i read that looks like ONE color and looks like pea soup which this REALLY doesnt look like lol.But the tubularness is all thats missing but close inspection you can sorta see some tubularness lmao irl,this sounds weird now.Ok well tell me if it sounds odd or what he just got a checkup at the vet she said he looks fine and healthy but we didnt do bloodwork last time was almost 5 mos. ago so im sure he's good.So anyone else get poo that isnt tubular(that isnt diarhea)?And does the fact that he dips his food in his water maybe cause this?I dunno ill watch his poo's close and se if i can get it to change.

Got any pictures? Normal poop doesn't always look exactly the same and will vary depending on what the bird has been eating. There can also be variations caused by how it landed.

I had my gcc at the vet a couple of days ago and told the vet that his/her poo is different from my tiels, I described it, and the vet told me that pellets and veggies and fruits will make the poo soft, mushy-looking. He said both my birds were healthy, so the poo could be because you've got him/her on the pellets. Of course, if he's drinking more, changing any behaviors, etc., bring him to the vet.

I'm no expert on linnies, but I've heard that their poop is normally messier than a lot of other species. The color of any bird's poop can be affected by what the bird has been eating, for instance colored pellets can result in strange-looking poop.
