The budgie poo healthy?

[jeyid]

My 1-month blue bird's poos look strange, he's eating much and poos much. I'm afraid some germs got in him?

But he doesn't seem sick.

Why is the poo yellow. What are they eating that is that colour?

[Marianne Marlow]

Is that cage their home? it looks very small. Also doesn't seem to have many perches.

I don't know, maybe cause he's too young? or he's sick?

I only feed him these 2, millet with and without shell. I don't think it's a problem...

Yes, The bird is too young to climb and fly, so I thought it's ok as I always open the cage door. But they barely went out.

I prepare to buy a bigger one when they grow stronger

I would try to find them a seed mix with more variety. At least five different types of seeds - millets and canary seed plus a small amount of oats and one of the oil seeds. But the little blue bird doesn’t look good in the video, I suggest you book him a vet visit.

Ok, I will try some canary seeds and oats. I have sesame, is it good for him?

He's about 1 month, so he looks clumsy.

My poor bird wilted right now, and poop suddenly became black and liquid!?
I gave him some ginger water to drink.

I bought some canary seeds but they seems not interested, and only shucked the seeds, didn't eat. why??

Mix some red, white and yellow millet with canary grass seed. See if they eat that.

It is possible that they were taken from the parents too young to be taught how to husk their seed. A parent or other older bird shows them what to do. Otherwise it is possible they are only mouthing the food and not really eating due to illness.
