Green poop?

[PaperLantern]

So as you may know I've gotten my new GCC Chubby. I think I'm a little paranoid because I recently lost a bird, but every little thing makes me worry.

When I got Chubby his poop was runny, the vet said it was because of the 10 hour plane flight plus the fact that he had been eating a lot of mango and corn.

So today I didn't feed him fruits, and his poop is now solid and normal in consistency. However, his poop varies from a very dark brownish green to an almost pea-green color.

I switched him from his normal food because it had dye in it to a new food. The pellets are dark green (a little lighter than spinach colored), and brown colored. Today he has eaten his pellets, millet, fresh broccoli and a few snow peas. Could this be a result of the green foods he is eating?

The urates are white, which is normal, and the urine part is clear which is also normal. He has a big appetite, is drinking his water and is playful.

I'm just worried because I read online that any shade of green dropping is bad.

Bert has green poo too! He eats Vetafarm Nutriblend pellets and once I changed his pellets to a different brand (the pet store were out) for about a week and it changed his poo to brown, when I got his usual pellets again it changed back to green. Bert also eats a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables of all different colours.
Side note: His poo is also of normal consistency, urates and urine also very normal and healthy. He has a very healthy appetite and is a very active happy chappy! So I am not at all concerned by his green poo, I actually think it's funny that he's a green parrot that has green poo's

If you did an immediate switch to new pellets this could also stress the digestive track. It is always best to gradually change a diet. The pellets will definitely change the color of the poos. Chubby is most probably fine.

The color of what goes in definitely affects the color of what comes out. My little Echo was pooping purple yesterday after I fed him a blackberry.

For your piece of mind, why not stick your little fellow on a consistent diet (same pellets, same blend of fruits and veggies, no new foods) for a few days and watch him to see if his poops remain a consistent color and shape on that diet? If they do, all's probably well. If not, time for the vet.
