I'm slightly concerned bcuz Oscar seems to not be pooping as much as normal. He's recently switched over to Roudybush Crumbles so is actually eating a smaller amount of food (it seems). Should I be worried? He seems normal (well, what's normal?) other than this.

Less food = less poop.
You could always keep track of his weight if youre concerned.

I could except Oscar is untouchable.
I know how that is. I have one of those too. Pip looks just like your Oscar and hes untouchable too as far as weighing etc. goes. Its a battle trimming his nails.

You could try putting a rolled up washcloth on the scale like the one in your video of him rubbing. Maybe he’ll gladly mount the scale for you. Lol.
My vet has a perch thing on his scale. Im going to try that one of these days.

If you’re not sure, towel your bird, get a feel for his breast bone. My girl is under weight and I’ve added pellets to her seed diet. Fresh foods too but we haven’t had much luck there.

I just saw one of those scales with the perch on FB marketplace!

George towels him several times a week to bring him into the bird room for me. I'll check then. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I just got Oscar off seeds! He came to me on a diet of pizza, chicken nuggets and people packaged salted pumpkin seeds. His vet and I were quite surprised when his liver enzymes came back good!
