Hello I am new to the sight, I have a Blue Quaker Parrot named MoJo and a very Disgruntal Love Bird. My Question is should My Quakers poop be rainbow colored depending on what he eats?

Yes. If you are feeding him colored pellets or food with artificial colorings (and even some fruits like blueberries, raspberries, etc.) his droppings may be colored. If you are not feeding him this type of food, then he may be ill and you should take him to an avian vet.

Yes he (well I say He?) eats Zupreeem and ALL fresh food and loves his veggies. Very little seed or pellets are given. Large variety of food and colors.
Cool thanks for the hint

Yep, Quakers and their good appetites often cause some odd and scary colored droppings. Here's a link that is a great reference in case the diet is not the cause of the colored poops
