My blue budgie has a discolored beak and is pooping a mix of green and black poop. He is acting totally healthy though and he eats properly. Is he healthy?

Thanks for reaching out about your budgie and including photos. Stool color can vary depending on diet. Dark is sometime due to increased bile in the stool and might or might not be an indication of illness. If acting and eating well, you can probably monitor for now. If you are concerned, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess health. Good luck.
