Is my bird's red poop normal after egg binding and colored pellets?

Question

Are these feces normal for a bird on colored pellets? She went to the vet a few days ago for egg binding that caused diarrhea (egg was collapsed/removed, though some egg shell was stuck to her uterine wall) and the vet said she should be acting normal by Monday. I thought it wouldn't hurt to be paranoid here first. Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Female | unspayed

thanks for reaching out about Gacy. The red color could definitely be due to colored pellets, The stool appears slightly loose, possibly a result of recent egg binding/retained shell, but also possible for a GI infection or other problem. If acting well, continue to monitor. Let our veterinarian know your concerns. Good luck.
