  Sometimes, stool can change color based on what food they are eating, so I would see if this persists. If birds have continued green stool, it can be a sign that they are pretending to eat and not really eating enough or even a liver problem. So, if it continues, I would definitely see your vet!

  Black or tarry stool or one with blood in it could indicate an issue such as internal parasites or a GI bleed. It would be best to have your vet take a look at Willow, especially if the problem persists, as birds are very good at hiding illness until it is too late. Sometimes, dyes in treats or certain veggies (such as beets) can color the stool, however removing these items if you have fed them should return the stool to normal after a day or two -- if it doesn't, or you see signs of illness, seeking veterinary care is best.

  Rhe could be having a change in diet or even stress levels to change her stool. I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian for a good exam to make sure she does not have an underlying issues. Birds are very good a hiding illness from us so it is best to be checked out. Hope that helps
