We’re feeding my 2. Mo old green cheek Zupreem natural pellets and Zupreem fruit blend pellets and his poop is a lime green/brown. Everywhere I’ve read says that’s a serious problem and I’m really worried!

I’m immediately taking him off the fruit pellets and I am going to see what happens!

Fruit pellets will dye the droppings different colors. My vet told me he can't count the number of times people have rushed their bird to him thinking it was blood and it was red pellets. :) If he's acting normally otherwise, my guess is it's the fruil pellets (you're referring to the colored ones, right?)

As mentioned, Zupreem Fruity has artificial dyes that do present in interesting ways in the feces

Thank goodness. I was really worried. He converted from a seed diet on the first day so that might also be a factor. He is acting normal too. Thank you so much! This is a big relief.

That looks like completely normal poop.
