Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Male | 4 months and 2 days old
Hello I have a 4 month old Black Capped Conure. I’m very new at bird information. I was wondering is my birds stools normal? I’m still learning what’s normal and what isn’t. I have a picture to show. The stool dried up a little bit so I apologize if this isn’t a good picture. Thank you

It looks normal but it is hard to tell 100% from this photo. I recommend you refer to this link/article: ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/birds-abnormal-droppings ) If you are worried you can always have your vet do a fecal test/gram stain. The biggest way to keep your bird healthy is to feed the appropriate diet. I strongly suggest Lafeber diets. I don't know what you are feeding but many people default to seeds but that is not a good diet. ( https://lafeber.com/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Yes, this could be just a one time thing. I honestly wouldn't be overly worried at this stage. I would just monitor her stools and if this persists I would get her to the vet for an exam and a fecal gram staining. I agree, I would switch her to pellets. I like LaFeber diets and their website has great information on how to switch a bird from seeds to pellets. ( https://lafeber.com/ )
