Thanks for your reply! I am very happy to have someone to talk to about this.
I apologize in advance if this sounds disgusting... Johnnie's droppings are 60% clear liquid (urine, I guess) and 40% grass green tube shaped poop. I do not see any urates at all. The newspaper in his cage is too wet for me to see anything else.
He has been drinking quite a bit of water, but I am in CA and its been warm enough to warrent the extra water intake. I have also been giving him 2-3 grapes in his fruit treat bowl as I just discovered they are his favorite goodie to eat (I love to see him tear those grapes up!)
I have been watching him very carefully and he really doesn't seem sick at all except for the droppings being different from my other 2 birdies. I know birds can hide their illnesses well. He has a hardy appetite, plays and squawks well, and has a nice set of glossy feathers.
I will be sure to schedule a vet appointment just in case. Thanks again for your comments.
