I'd do some research I've always been told that could be a sign of liver disease. It should not be all watery. There is a web site that shows what normal dropping should look like. Just google it because I don't remember it.

My two girls, Baby & Bertie have nice little almost half curled round shaped poops. I've always been glad for this since it's so easy to clean up, unlike my conures. I don't think your baby's poop should be so wet, please get it checked out.

Do you feed a lot of fruits? What do you feed on a regular basis?

Our green cheek got sick about week after we purchased her and her poop was really watery. I took her to the vet because of the watery poop & she was tucking her tail. Is your cockatiel tucking his tail or acting ill? Cinnamon had a crop infection. She was drinking so excessively by the second day at the vet she drank almost 1/2 cup of water over a period of hours.

My half moon has watery poops sometimes after eating a lot of fruit or certain vegetables but it always goes back to normal.

If he is acting sick you might want to see the vet and if not you might want to pay attention as to whether it gets better or worse depending on the foods he eats.
