If the two birds are fighting over resources a good first step is to either move the birds to a large cage, and to also add in additional food and water dishes. This prevents one bird from being able to take over all of them at once so your other bird can eat. If your bird is trying to get your attention, playing with them separately may help prevent fighting over this as well. As for liquid droppings, diet changes, too many snacks, illness, parasites, etc can all be possible causes. Making sure your bird is on a balanced diet, removing any snacks for a few days and watching for changes can help. if the stool doesn't return back to normal, scheduling a visit with your vet is best.
