Looks off for sure. If you can put down a white paper towel to poop on its easier to see what's going on.
Weaning and post Weaning are a big time in a parrots life. They need a lot of guidance from flock and parents. Adolescent sets them up fir health happy well adjusted life.
So you as flock need to be eating some of the veggies and stuff you offer with them and messing around with the food with them . They are really willing to try stuff at this age and copy and learn from you their flock. Its a time to offer every kind of good stuff you want them eating. And stress and anxiety are linked with food security.
So rushed Weaning can have an impact on them. They are less willing to try new stuff on an empty stomach sounds weird but is true . I am not sure of Weaning age for your species . Or if yours even experienced a rushed Weaning and or forced Weaning. But given the age of your baby it is very likely would still be getting an occasional support feed from parents. Larger species of parrots are often supported by parents up to a year old. They are taking them to food sources show them what's good and feeding them some of it.
You might find its very helpful to offer a little comfort feed of warm baby formula, or soft warm food like mashed warm sweet potatoes in the morning. Then right after immediately offer all your wide mixed offer of veggies and pellets. Start off with chopped up to pea size and slight dampen and soften pellets mix all together. Light steam veggies can be helpful. And offer separate too, as well as some larger hunks to pick up with feet and explore if they want. Sure there is going to be a lot of waste at first. You want to expose them to all kinds of textures and shapes and color veggies. Don forget the leafy greens! Like romaine lettuce, Swiss shard, bok choy , some shredded purple cabbage, arugula.
the end result will be a parrot thst isn't picky and eats a wide Variety of foods easily and loves too!
The same with toys . Offer all kinds . Play and ness with thrm with your parrot. Start teaching foraging as an interactive game you do together .
All the extra hands on time and fussed and teaching results in a more confident and independent parrot later. Young burds tend to need more physical contact and cuddles too.
Hopefully this is a minor gi disturbance. And resolves. Or stays minor till after Christmas and you can get in with your veterinarian.
I would still probably put in a phone call and ask for advice . Ir ask if can video chat or email or text poop pick.
But if anything changes more , like more sleeping and fluffed or not eating , or decrease in eating you may have to go in on emergency. If it is? Bacterial? It could worsen quickly
