8 Weeks old baby Amazon?

[DonnaBudgie]

Its unclear from your post exactly what she's been eating. If her diet is moist she will produce quite a bit of wet droppings. The solid part of the poop is well formed and looks normal. There's a lot of liquid part but it looks normal. When my baby budgies were being hand fed I kept them on soft white paper towels because they were so absorbent and they had very wet droppings. I had the change it frequently or he would get wet.
But I think a vet check is important to confirm and ease your worries.
If you're going to let her poop on something nonabsorbant like wax paper make sure you change it frequently or her bottom and tail will get soaked. Fold it up envelope style so it won't spill and put it in a Tupperware with a lid in the fridge and bring it to the vet. Try to write the time frame down so the vet knows how long it took her to poop that much. I'm assuming her behavior is normal. Try not to worry! She's going to be fine.

I think it's fair I update on Stormy. We just got back from the Avian vet a couple hrs ago. I feel so lucky because he was all booked until the 25th and they had a cancelation. Vet says Stormy is very healthy, she was nice enough to gift him the honor of a poo so we did a fecal and all was normal. Her wellness check went great too! Here's 2 pics of her being a good big bird. Thank you for all again guys!

Yeah! Give her a good scritch for me.

That's great! Her first vet visit and she's perfectly healthy and you got pictures too! You must feel so much better. You're doing a terrific job raising her and you'll have a special bond for life. Of course, she'll grow up and push the boundaries but all teens do that.
Did she bite the vet?

No, she didn't bite the vet or the techs. So far she's only tried with my son this one time he decided it was smart to uncover the bin without announcing himself and putting his huge hands in from the top to touch her. I'm trying my best to have a many people as possible interact with her and as soon as she's a bit bigger I'll harness train her (her aviator harness is casually chilling by her cage and I let her play with it with supervision from time to time) and take her places so she can get socialized I'm sure nothing will save me from the amazon badges of honor from her (I still have one from the last adult one I trained with) but I'm sure it will help minimize a few triggers lol.

I'd start with the harness training ASAP, its almost never too early to do that. If she is fully fledged, its time!

This is true. The earlier the better! Give lots of praise. Being so young it's easy to get her used to having wings handled. That's the hardest part of harness training. I use Aviator brand. I don't have many complaints after over 4 decades.

Yes, it's the same brand I have and the one that worked for the quakers as well. One thing I've noticed (obviously they're all different) is that baby zons and quakers are very different, so now I'm struggling to find what can I use as treats to train her. She's used to the clicker and stick already but I'm excited to do some training with her and so far I can't think of anything of value it can offer to motivate her if that makes sense. Ofc I praise and all but I'm sure you know what I mean. She's a veggie lover but also a baby so she takes long with a peace for example. Also, she's not fledged yet but I can see her getting ready as she's refusing the last 5mls of formula per feed and yesterday and today she tried flying so I can see her there by next week. So far we've only dropped a gram but she also loves her veggies and greens so that gives me peace of mind. Pellets will be here tomorrow so I'll introduce those too.

Excellent. I am glad you two are doing so well!

Still flapping wings preparing for flight?

Still flapping wings preparing for flight?

She took her first little flight like 2 days ago from my fingers over the bed and landed on the floor. Yesterday she had a few similar ones and decided to make me jealous by flying to my husband who managed to catch her beautifully on his hand. Today she flew from her stand in the livingroom all to halfway in the hallway, her longest one yet. Yes, she flaps her wings a lot. Formula intake is still 10-12mls less per feed (shes on 3 a day) than it was before. I do offer her veggies so I'm sure that is also a factor and it gives me peace of mind because I know for sure I'm feeding/offering very healthy options and she does eat some. If there's any safety advice I would appreciate it (baby flying stage is so scary for me) so far all I could think of was putting some tape on the glass door in case she decides to try flying there and i take her there to "touch" the glass daily. I've never clipped a baby and I refuse to but I've also never had such a big baby.

Below is a picture of Stormy eating some freshly cooked veggies and some cooked organic Quinoa, carrots seem to be a hit now.
