Is my 4-month-old conure's poop normal? New bird parent help!

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.
