Hey, so I have a one year old Greek cheek conure. I noticed today she’s been having brown poops, light brown poops. She hasn’t had any fruit or veggies today, but she did have her regular seeds (also have been thinking about switching her to pellets
Yes, this could be just a one time thing. I honestly wouldn't be overly worried at this stage. I would just monitor her stools and if this persists I would get her to the vet for an exam and a fecal gram staining. I agree, I would switch her to pellets. I like LaFeber diets and their website has great information on how to switch a bird from seeds to pellets. ( https://lafeber.com/ )

Why is my conure continually taping his beak on a hard surface. It’s pretty kewt but wondering what it means
In birds, it's a way of showing off and also a way for him to express what he thinks belongs to him, toys, his perch, etc. It's a signal to other birds that this is something he has claimed as his own.

Hey is it alright for my green cherk conure to play in my yardand eat grass? There os no chemical treatment to the yard just blue grass and common weeds
Yes, many parrots like to eat grass, actually every part of grass from the root to the seed. It is a perfect source of fiber and keeps them busy as well . So, he can play in the yard and eat grass. Check the weeds and remove any poisonous weeds by pulling them out and removing them.

My Green Cheek Conure got a piece of their bell toy stuck in their beak a few days ago. We got it out and they seem fine, but I'm concerned about any side effects. Should I worry?
Boy, you wouldn't believe how often we see this happen! Birds are so curious and they have such strong little beaks! Having that checked by a vet would be best. However, if there is no damage to the beak- holes, cracked pieces etc and no damage to the soft tissues inside the mouth (sometimes these toys will cut into the soft skin on the inside of the beak), then your little friend should be fine!

Hi, let's say I have bought another female, baby, cockatiel. What do I do afterwards? Do I immediately get them to meet each other? Do I run a few checks on the new parrot? Get them another cage or...? Please tell me everything I need to know about g
That's a lot of questions! When getting a new bird, it is best to keep them in a separate cage for a few weeks (quarantine) to make sure they do not spread any illness to each other. Once the new bird checks out safe, you can keep them near each other to get used to hearing/seeing each other, and then gradually introduce them, whether on a shared play pen, or in a cage that is large enough to comfortably house both. Make sure you have extra food and water dishes, toys, perches, etc so that they cannot fight over these resources or become territorial. Each bird will have different markings depending on the type of coloration the bird is (there are different varieties of markings) so this will greatly depend on if you purchase a bird with similar markings or not.
