We left our bird with a friend and he has a massive build up of poop and is struggling to move or poop. His legs and feet are black

Are they discolored from poop? Loss of circulation?

He needs a vet ASAP. Black feet and legs are not a good sign either way.

Definitely agree I would see a vet if his legs and feet are black is he struggling to stand use feet etc moving differently

Is it possible for you to share a pic of what you are seeing? It does sound from your description like there is a serious need for an emergency vet appointment.

Have the people watching your bird shed any light on what may be the cause? Did your bird have a crash, fall or any other incident that is notable while being watched by others?

Agree with all ,sounds very serious, you need to get to the veterinarian. .any chance this a girl? Because sounds like could be egg binding , which is also an emergency vet can help with. Agree can also be an injury. Do they have cats or dogs?
