My budgies love romaine lettuce and it's never made their poop like this, it only makes their poop a little more watery. Did the vet give them anything while they were there? Perhaps they were just stressed out
@Ripshod ?

Any food with that much water in it will make their poops wet. As will bathing. Smear some poop on white paper. Is it black or is it just dark green?
Lack of white urates could indicate a lack of calcium. Or are the urates just hiding inside the poops?
