welcome! That poo is very similar to what my conure's was like when he first changed to pellets. Looks like your rosella has taken a liking to the red bits in the new food. Blood in poo is normally a very dark almost black colour

I wouldn't worry too much over the poo there, good that you noticed a change though!

I'd say it's safe, try adding a little bit of fruit in there like a couple bits of chopped apple, just avoid the core of the apple as the apple seeds aren't safe

I removed all the red thing, give them some Apple, and will look if droppings changed, thank you!

good plan there! will give you an answer one way or the other. Maybe give it another day or 2 to come to an answer just to make sure all the red stuff is out of their system

Hey, after two days poop went back to normal, so i give him back food with pellets, but i noticed 2 things, he dont want his favorite food from me(he always want ), but eat from dish, i also noticed that je sometimes not that often rests his head on stick, or cage bars should i go to vet? Otherwise he got signs od health bird

if he's doing things different to normal yes go to the vet

but make sure they are an avian specialist. An ordinary cat and dog vet will know nothing about how to care for a bird
