Thanks for reaching out about Sheephony. It sounds as if she is sick and not eating. When birds decrease appetite the feces often becomes greener, due to lack of bile salt re-absorption. Not pooping since not eating well. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a treatment plan. Providing healthy foods will not likely fix this but is a good long term goal. Giving a warm environment to recovery, 80-85 F range can give some support but is not a treatment.
good luck.
