Hi akl
my conure had a poop with a very pungent and bad odour today, as well as that there was biliverdin on the poop. there wasn’t any undigested food in it even when I rubbed it against paper thoroughly. She is eating well, vocalising and alert. She ate South American pellets, squash, blackberry and pear.

She was diagnosed with fatty liver. Is this a symptom of that or is this something to bring up to the vet?

also can this be a symptom of something like pdd?

I just remembered she ate half of a BROWN pistachio (old pistachio) yesterday.

A poop pic will help us see.

Trends in poop changes can be more than just one off poop

Also the first poop of the day can be green.

Smell and such i would lean more infectious. But I wouldn't jump to ppd

Has the smell been there for every poop since you mentioned the problem or was it just a once off stinky poop? Any other poop abnormalities?
