Bird Poop Question

My pionus's droppings have been quite loose lately. I'm just wondering if this is normal or should I be concerned. He seems ok other than this.
I just had a cockatiel that died. I'm hoping it wasn't anything contagious
that my other birds could get.

Has his diet changed? Did he take a bath today?

No, nothing has changed. He eats fruits and vegetables every day. Maybe he's eating too much of it and not enough pellets.

Fruits and veggies make poop more watery because there's more liquid. This is most probably the cause if the fresh fruits you're offering now are a little more "juicy" than the ones you were offering last week.
