My budgie's poop is light brown and sometimes string-like after introducing him to pellet diet, is something wrong?

Hello there, Sometimes diarrhea can be caused by any change of diet. Pelleted diets are overall much better for budgies though, so your choice of diet is great! If the diarrhea continues or any other signs develop, such as lethargy or decreased appetite, please seek care of your budgie's veterinarian. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
