Is my bird's poop normal?

Sorry for the gross topic but my sun conure's droppings have been a different color lately — more piedish than usual. Diet hasn't changed. They're acting normal otherwise. Should I be worried or is this a normal variation?

I showed this post to my bird and they looked at me with zero remorse. They know what they're doing.

Great question! So in my experience with budgie, this usually comes down to a few things. First, getting natural java wood perches from a specialty bird store. Second, make sure they're getting enough sleep — 12 hours of uninterrupted dark sleep is crucial. And third, pay attention to insufficient UV light exposure, especially in Canadian winters because that was a huge factor for my Tango. Hope that helps!

If you're in High Park, check out the avian vet on Lawrence Ave. They're amazing with sun conure specifically.
