Thank you all for your help with Mr Stinky Poop. Took him to the vet. She said he has a slight yeast infection, not too bad. She said to feed him more citrus; lemon, grapefruit, orange, and organic unfiltered, unsweetened cranberry juice. Put ½ teaspoon of organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar per cup in his drinking water. (That I had never heard of.) And wash his water bottle and stopper in the dishwasher twice a week and have two of them so it dries out in between. I suspect the water bottle as the source. It is a large one and can last more than two weeks easy and I didn’t change that often.

Glad you got him to the Vet. Here is an article you might want to read before feeding all that citrus. I do understand the Vets thinking about serving. http://www.holisticbird.org/heal/iron.htm
