Is my conure's green poop and feather loss normal or a sign of illness?

Question

My green-cheeked conure is losing a few small downy feathers, and her poop has green stuff in it. Is this normal or is she sick, needing an exam, or something. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 6 months and 15 days old | 0.145 lbs

Bird droppings normally contain some green as well as white and some liquid. If you feed mainly seeds, the droppings will be mostly green. A pelleted diet will make droppings darker. Some feather loss is normal as she matures. Her first molt may be around 8 months of age. Symptoms of illness that warrant an exam with your veterinarian include lethargy, decreased appetite, loose droppings, perched with feathers fluffed, vomiting or excessive regurgitation.
