Question Can a change in food cause watery stools?

I got the Zupreem cockatiel pellets yesterday and today I put some in there food tray to see if they would eat it. Well they do. While sitting on the computer with them around me they started pooping and I notice that their stool was watery. Can the change in food be a sign of this or should I be conserned?

Change in food can cause different poops. If you feed colored pellets you can even get multicolored poop. I don't know anything about Zupreem. Wither this is the cause I don't know. Watery poops can also be caused by the bird drinking or playing with too much water. This will be then just a one time or two time poop. I think you just have to watch a bit and see if this is a continuing thing or not.

Ok thanks. I will keep and eye out for it. They have been drinking their normal amounts and they have not taken a bath today, yet, but I will keep and eye out.

My budgies always end up having the squits if i change any of their seed or food at all. Molly the newest female didn't take well to Mikko's seed mix and the vitamin spray i use on it, so I had to cut the spray down to 1/4 and up it slowly, her poo went back to normal after about 2 weeks, thankfully.
