My hand-fed conure chick won't eat, has green poop. What to do?

Question

Hi my name is fafa and im living in kuwait. I have tried to find a doctor for my conure Bird but where ever i go they tell me that they only treat dogs and cats. My conure bird is about 2 months old and gets handfeeded. He use to eat 10 ml of his food. After a while i noticed that he started not to eat anything and only sleeps and his poop was lightgreen diarrhea. Sometimes its light green with white. I started to force feeding him so he gets food in his body what should i do or treatments. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

At his current age, you can start weaning him off of hand feeding formula. Begin to gradually decrease the amount and frequency of feeding. Offer a commercial pelleted diet and a fortified seed mix. Millet sprays can also be offered. Check his crop to ensure he is eating. You can continue to supplement as needed though to prevent weight loss. The droppings look normal for a chick being hand fed. The increased liquid can result in loose stool. Expect the consistency and appearance of droppings to change once the transition to solid food is made. Contact local breeders, bird keepers or even zoos to get information on avian veterinarians that will be able to examine Kiwi if necessary.
