Here is a good article on bird poop: https://www.petcoach.co/article/bird-droppings-the-importance-of-daily-observation-in-early/ It would help to know what breed of bird you have and what you feed your bird and whether your bird is showing any signs of illness or discomfort, as this also would determine whether the poop on the pictures is abnormal or normal. So maybe you can ask the question again giving us this information so we can help you better,
