Funky poop, new food or disease?

I'm wondering if the poop is from the new food, they have now started eating more pellets. Gray is eating and drinking normally and I've seen his poop has changed.
Has anyone had experience with poop like this?
Trying to get a vet appointment set up now.

Is that a morning poop?
The color will reflect the color of pellet.

Gram stain, blood work, and chem panel would be helpful...and maybe a choanal swab? @Macawnutz , @Hankmacaw .

Poop is affected by what they eat, if they're nervous, etc. And all birds are different. Harry often has loose stools, but he's afraid of his own shadow. Annie's poop stinks, but it's a morning poop that she's held all night. When she bombs away in the morning, it sounds like somebody dropped s box full of hammers.

That looks like wet poop. The brown color is most likely from their eating -pellets. Are they showing any other symptoms of illness?

A vet appointment wouldn't hurt anything.

It was fresh poop. None of them are showing signs of symtoms of anything. Vents are clear. Poop seems to have gotten back to normal but a vet visit is still in order.
