My cockatiel's poop is bright green instead of dark green. Im not sure if he's sick or what. (His poop isn't watery, it's normal but offcolored). Thank you!

The color of the droppings can vary depending on the diet. If Keke is behaving normally otherwise, there is likely no cause for concern. Continue to monitor the stool and diet. If he becomes lethargic, stops eating or develops loose droppings, then have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian.
