Has the frequency increased or the amount per poop? It's possible that he is holding it longer which will produce a larger poo.

Also as Amazons in particular are prone to fatty liver disease, a seed based diet is not recommended for them.

Not increased size just the amount of times poo is normal colour and everything

What's the best brand of pellet for a amazon I would have to wean him slowly onto them

Can you take a picture of his poop and post it?

The best pellet is one is the one he'll eat and does well on.

Thanks and here's a pic of his poop

Looks pretty normal to me. It could be that he is just eating more. But you really should get him off the seeds. Pellets, fresh vegetables and very little fruit.

If you can get him on Roudybush Liver care that would be great. It can only be purchased with a prescription from your vet.

Thankyou he is very fussy with his food hope he will take to pellets I do give him fruit and veg but no one has ever actually told me what amount like do I give just one piece of veg a day or 3 pieces a day or just twice a week he is 20 years old I have been giving him a veg or fruit 3 times a week then a seed with bits of dried fruit mixed in

He should have a full serving of veggies every morning when he's more hungry. Cut the fruit back to a couple of days a week and no dried fruit. Fruit is very high in sugar, which metabolizes directly to fat. Very bad for the liver. He should have access to pellets 24/7 (except when he gets his veggies). You may have to mix seeds into his pellets and reduce the amount of seeds gradually. It may take a couple of months to convert him, but he will be a healthier bird.
