Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. Great question! From what I can tell based on the photos I think the first two poops look OK. The brown one looks a bit more abnormal just based on color but again, that could be diet related. I do think taking them to the vet for an exam is best. That way you can get the stools testing and talk about the diet and all their husbandry to see if that is contributing to any abnormal stools you are seeing. Here is to a link to an article that may help answer more of your questions: ( http://greencheekconure.net/2014/12/green-cheek-conure-droppings-5-types-of.html ) The probiotic is fine to give - that was a good idea on your part! I am not familiar with that particular product but I don't think it will be a problem. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
