Hi everyone,
I’ve posted a couple other questions about my nine month old green cheek conure and his worrying droppings, so here goes another:
To give you some background Manny has always been a vivacious, silly, and ravenous bird. I’ve had him for almost two months. About a month ago I saw that his urates had curdled and panicked and took him to the emergency vet only to get a clean bill of health and a recommendation that we switch his food to an all pellet diet.
We immediately did that and he has been eating Zupreem natural pellets since then.
Although his poos appeared to return to normal very quickly, about a week later I noticed that they smelled sour and also that he was making HUGE poopies, not just in the morning but all the time. However, his poos looked like perfect buddy poos so I attributed it to maybe the new pellets as his pellets also smell slightly sour. His poopies since then have been smaller and less sour smelling.
About an hour ago I noticed one of Manny’s poopies was wet and the urates were a bit curdled. Color was fine but the urates curdling are bugging me.
Aside from that Manny is a consistent 69g-70g and eating Zupreem pellets and three almonds every day. We’re working on the veggies. He’s bright eyed, alert, talky, curious, and wants to chew on everything. He’s also quite the sweet little man.
Another thing that’s worrying me is the fact that Manny is shedding his feathers like leaves. Granted, new feathers are growing in, but it’s making him look chewed.
I’m going to call the avian vet when they open tomorrow, but for now does anyone have any advice?
Here are several pictures: The first is of the poo that made me take him to the emergency vet, the second is the one from just now, and the third is a new poo that he made while I was typing this! I don’t knoe if you can see but it appears to have a bubble in it. Ugghhh I just want him to be okay. He’s such a little baby.
