Watery Poop?

I am very tempted to take Einstein into the vet right now... He seems to poop very frequently, (as in every 4 or 5 minutes) when he is out hanging with me. It is mostly liquid and very little poop. The poop in his cage is a mixture between normal poop and this watery discharge I am seeing recently. Any advice on what this is or may be? I am very worried!

Usually if it is watery it is from something they have eaten recently having high water content. What has he been eating??

Lots of watery fruits tend to make Roma's watery. The last 2 days he has eaten watermelon, cantelope, banana and pineapple for breakfast and they are pretty watery and frequent.

It could be just uriates (reptile and bird form of urine) or could be a mild diarrhea. Is it still pooping like that? How is he?

He hasn't had any fruits and veggies yesterday or today because of the watery poops and it's still going on.

Is it just when he's hanging out with you?

If he is also drinking a lot of water then it's time see the vet. That would be a cause for concern. What "does" Einstein eat?

He isn't drinking abnormally much. I actually haven't seen a difference in his water intake. But he loves taking baths and showers if that has anything to do with it... He usually gets a serving of veggies in the morning and evening and I free-feed pellets 24/7. I feed Zupreem Naturals but am weaning him onto Roudybush and he is taking to it pretty well! For the past 2 days he has eaten all of his Roudybush pellets and left his Zupreem ones...

He's intaking a lot of water during baths/showers obviously. Lots of birds do that. It's not like he consciously seeks out water to drink which would mean he's always thirsty. That is the concern. I personally would not be too concerned knowing that.
