My budgie has green, watery poop, sleeps, and eats only seeds. Why?

Thanks for reaching out about Diablo and including photos. Green stool can be normal depending on recent food ingested. The picture shows a well formed feces, appropriate amount of urine/urates. If Diablo is preferentially eating the green pellets, the feces can be more green. Fat should be kept minimal, and with the 10% fat in the pellets and seed, the seed should be limited if not eliminated. Parrots are not exposed to many seeds in the wild, but nuts yes. A wide variety of vegetables are important, as is a protein source such as beans or legumes. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out ab out Beau and including photos. Agree that if too cold with fluff feathers in an attempt to increase insulation. But they usually do not decrease eating, as calories needed to make heat. A darker green stool is often a sign of decreased appetite, increased white and clear urine is increased drinking. Millet is a poor diet as devoid of many vitamins and minerals and is basically the equivalence of potato chips. A wide variety of vegetables is needed, a plant based protein source (beans, legumes, tofu) and avian pellets are recommended. As he is likely ill, a veterinary visit is highly recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Provide heat support 24/7. Good luck.

If his behavior is unusual or any symptoms (such as changes to the stool and lethargic behavior) are worsening, seeking a vet visit in person is always best to rule out issues such as GI upset, illness, etc. Adding a little grit to the diet may also help better breakdown seeds in his food and allow him to digest/pass them more easily. Sometimes, parasites can look like seeds in the stool, so having a vet take a look and checking for any parasites may also be a good idea. As for fresh fruits and veggies, birds can sometimes be picky about what they eat. The best rule of thumb is to keep offering them until your bird finally gets curious enough to try it. He may find a new favorite!

Without knowing what is causing the stool color change, I would be unable to recommend if an antibiotic is the right treatment or not as a patient-doctor relationship is required along with an in-person exam in order to prescribe medications. Liver disease, and even nutritional changes such as too many fruits or veggies can also cause stool color changes, in which case antibiotics would not help. Keeping Skye warm and eating a balanced diet may help, but ultimately he will need to be seen by a veterinarian in order to diagnose the issue so appropriate treatment can be given.

Thanks for reaching out about Henry. Providing heat support in the 80-85 F range can give some aid. A diet in seed is very deficient in vitamins and minerals, and protein. If this is a metabolic disorder, neoplasia or other, a veterinary visit is needed to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Piku and including photos. Vomitig can be caused by many things, of which liver disease is one. Ingestion of toxic compounds (zinc, lead, other foreign bodies), renal or liver disease, some viral disease. A veterinary visit is recommended, today, as small birds can not go long without eating as they have few energy reserves. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Gigi and Villi and including a photo. Green feces could be the result of the green food but also in common with liver disease. One mild concern would be a condition call chlamydophilosis, which can also be communicable to other birds and people. A veterinary visit is recommended anyways for any new acquisitions, and this disease should be tested. Monitor for now but see a veterinarian if the condition persists. Good luck.
