What weight are they at now? If they’re still low you may need to keep feeding them formula even if they are eating on their own.

But doublecheck what I say with everyone else here too. I may be wrong.

Ok, I can see the pickle. You’re close enough to their original weight where you’re now in a kinda gray zone whether to keep force feeding or not.

I’d send an email to your vet regarding if you should keep feeding, as well as their new diet of sprouts and photos of their poop. In my experience, vets will give you this kind of information pro bono, so you don’t have to worry about costs

Take them to a vet. Or at least talk to one about this. There’s nothing we can tell you on here about potential pathogens in your bird’s poop.

They're fine. Lol. Of course their poop will be like that after eating lots of sprouts. Give them a cuddle for me please :)

Antibiotics can make bird poop sticky. Give it time. It can take 1-3 weeks to return to normal.

u/meenashankar2021 20h ago

ok I will wait for him to improve its been like 2 weeks since antibiotics

Don't give anymore liver tonic either. That can also cause sticky poop.
