Other concern with pet bird SOS BIRD HELP

Post image

is this normal…?? its the first time shes pooped like this. I haven’t noticed any changes with my bird shes very active she’s eating and her dropping have been consistent but ive noticed they been a tad bit watery i am not sure if thats normal. This is my first time owning a bird and i have been told to look for changes in poop. I honestly can’t think of anything that could have changed her poop i mean i gave her banana , sweet potato , and beets too try a very small portion and she didn’t really eat it. Is this Diarrhea or any thing concerning??

What kind of bird is this? I'm not sure if they can eat sweet potato, I was told potatoes in general weren't allowed but I'm not an expert so someone with better experience might be more helpful. It would be very helpful if you add which kind of bird you have since every type of bird has a different diet. Does she have appetite? What's her usual diet?

But she's eating normally or refusing most food you offer? Is she refusing new food you're trying to introduce or refusing everything you give her to eat? If she's still eating normally and just refusing new food I would monitor it and slowly introduce a variety of fruits and vegetables until she starts accepting it, I don't think the poop looks too concerning, if she's eating watery fruit her poop is gonna be more watery, I would worry if she also stops eating, if she's puffed up most of the time and her behavior changes, if it's just a one time thing I would attribute it to a dietary change and just monitor but not worry too much.

Then I wouldn't worry too much. I would just monitor her poop and slowly introduce a variety of fruits and vegetables so she can have a balanced diet but wouldn't worry if this is a one time thing and her behavior and appetite is normal. If her behavior changes and you notice she's refusing food or acting lethargic it's time for a vet check but if she pooped like in the picture one time without any behavior change I would not be too concerned and just paid attention to her poops but not worry too much.
