This can be normal for a bird that recently has been bred. The abnormal feces is likely due to stress and the loss of feathers is probably from the mating activity itself. Since your bird is otherwise acting normal and eating well, you should have nothing to worry about. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck!
