Looser stools could be caused by a number of things including a sudden change in diet, too many treats or snacks, or an underlying issue such as GI upset or parasites. If the change was recent and you changed Carl's food or gave him a new treat or snack, removing all extras and giving him a day or two to get used to the new food may help. If the loose stools continue, or nothing has changed for him diet-wise, a checkup with your vet along with bringing in a fecal sample can help rule out any illness or issues causing it.

Putting cloves and garlic in Tikoo's water is probably a contributor to the loose stool. Without an exam, it would be hard to tell the underlying cause, and thus treatment, however if he gets fed lots of treats and extra such as fruits and veggies, this can also cause watery stool. Removing them (and offering only straight water without additives) for a few days may help the issue resolve. Treating for parasites may also help. If you see any signs of infection or lasting illness, trying to find a vet in your area, even if they don't see specifically birds, is best to try and further narrow down the cause of illness and provide appropriate treatment.
