Why is my pacific parrotlet tired with green poop & swollen belly?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Parrot | Male | unneutered

I have a pacific parrotlet, I believe he is male. He has abdominal swelling, increased urine in his poo, his poo is a light green colour, and he seems a bit more tired than usual. He is still perching, and eating well. His feathers, and feet seem healthy. There is a slight discoloured spot on his beak that it barely visible. What should I do?

I would be concerned there is an issue such as an organ problem, underlying illness, or infection with the symptoms you are describing, especially if there hasn't been any change to Kiwi's diet or treats he is given. If the problem persists or has been ongoing for more than a few days, your best course of action would be to have him seen by a vet in person. Keeping him warm, eating and drinking, and removing any dirt or debris from the vent if there is any stuck may help him stay comfortable until the cause is figured out by your vet.
