Hello,

Bella has made a amazing recovery from her respiratory infection. However, her poop is like this now. Is this a healthy poop?

The feces is a bit white and grey

Looks mostly healthy, the only thing I can see is as you mentioned, the white and great part in the normally black/brown part.
Glad to hear she made a recovery!

Looks good and healthy for a bird that eats seeds. Well formed green faeces, clean white urates and a little urine.
What was it like before? Could the differencev be because of her illness?

It used to look a typical budgie poop, no odd color. I am just slightly worried that she has either vitamin deficiency since she has FM or there is something wrong with her pancreas. I have tried vitamin drops but she hates it so much and won't go near it. I have ordered seeds mix with added vitamins and see if she likes it.

What are the typical signs of a pancreas infection?

Odd colour? These poops are the normal colour. The occasional grey looking poop is we're there were very little urates to get rid of so it smears on the faeces. If you smear a grey one you'll see.
Yes to a fortified seed mix but we should never give extra vitamins, whether they are in powder form or liquid, unless a vet notices a lack of vitamins.

Hey my budgie has this same problem. Grey covering over the green poops. I noticed it before she had a crop infection or AGY and it’s still happening after the Bacteria was gone from her so I’m not sure what it is. Did you figure out what it was and how to fix it. My vet can’t get me a re-check 2 Wednesdays from now. Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, everything is fine now, It was her diet that made her poop that color. I changed her seeds mix and give her probiotics in her water sometimes since she has French molt and everything went back to normal.

I hope your Budgie is doing well, keep up updated if you can.
