So aboooouuuttt a week ago I changed Sonny's diet to pellets from seeds and his poop has changed. It used to be a green almost runny poop now its a thicker light browny colour. He did act REALLY annoyed when i first changed his food but now hes happy again and hes not acting any different. Is this poop colour normal or should I change him back onto seed? Sonny is a cockatiel by the way thanks guys I come here first for questions xD Google gives mixed answers.

Sounds like there is an improvement in the poop appearance. Green almost runny isn't good - brown and firmer sounds much better.
I don't know which pellet you are using, but if it is a coloured pellet, then some birds can develop a preference for a particular colour. If that colour is the green pellets then the poop can turn greenish, but remain the same consistency. Similarly for other colours. Nothing to worry about it is just to vegetable dyes they use which are coming through the system.
If you are using an uncoloured pellet then light to medium brown is quite normal
cheers,
Mike

It is one of the brands you told me to buy xD i cant remember the name. Its a blue packet with birds on it (i threw it out and put it in a container). The one that was easier to get xD AND OH GOOD phew Im glad this poop is better :3 Im about to start to introduce veggies in his diet too but im not sure which ones he will like because he never takes food from your hands (which is really hard to actually teach him tricks xD he doesnt get rewards aside from a scratch).
