conure diarrhea?

[sigaru]

hey everyone. i have a quick question. i think freddie may have diarrhea..his poo is sorta watery and somewhat yellowish. it wasn't like this yesterday, but has been today. he's eating fine and drinking fine [eating pellets, gave him a few sunflower seeds for a treat; still hasn't gotten the hang of fruits and vegetables yet, but we're working on it], doesn't seem sluggish or anything, but i'm just a little worried about this. he has been pretty vocal today though, when he normally doesn't make any sound, but the parakeets in the other room have been pretty loud, and i think he's just talking to them. i can't bring him to the vet today as it is sunday, so i figured i'd ask for your guys' advice in the meantime. is there anything i might be able to do for him now?
thanks

Just keep an eye on him. Has he had any thing different to eat? Has he consumed more liquid than usual? If so, water in equals water out...same as people!LOL!

lol, yeah it might be the water. he hasn't had anything different to eat. i've been trying to show him to eat fruits and veggies but he's not caught on yet. so it's just been the pellets and a few sunflower seeds here and there..same as i've been feeding him. but he did seem extra thirsty a little bit earlier, so it could be that. i'm just paranoid about him, lol. i'll definitely keep an eye on him though. thanks!!

thank you antoinette. i think it may just be the water. i cleaned his cage earlier and since then he has pooed and it looked normal. i will of course keep watching him, and i will take a look at that link :]
