LOL - Dark green is the normal color of birds feces (but parrots which eat pellets poop brown, instead). Mind you, this is the feces (the solid, wormy looking thingie), the ureates should be white or off-white (anything darker is indicative of either kidney problems or dehydration) and the urine is transparent (like water).

Carrots and apples are good but you need to feed it a MUCH larger variety of veggies and fruits as well as leafy greens, and whole grains and nuts instead of sunflowers.

mostly eats carrot and apple is not enough, and stay away from pellet diets for Eclectus.

Surf Google and read about the Eclectus diet! :)

You need to start making a diet with lots of SPROUTED beans, grains, peas and veggie sprouts mixed with lots of veggies and then feeding lots of various fruits...

Check this site out, pretty good all around Ekkie info;
