Her normal poos are green and firm white caps. The green is like a forest green. With a slight odor. They are small and firm but moist. All of the girls are going through or have been molting. She is 2 years and eight months old. I put down chopped brussel sprouts ( all I had) and some tuna she is eating that right now as I type. Her crop is full and soft.

Hmm- well if she is truly super skinny compared to the others, but IS eating/drinking/pooping ok then you are needing to think about things that cause chronic wasting symptoms, virals, tumors, GI parasites, other unpleasant internal things. Ivermectin will kill most internal worms (except tapeworms), so if she is not perking up within a few days of this treatment, that was probably not the issue. Really dark green feces is bile- and the bird is not eating well or at all. Nice oak leaf green (you said forest?) is normal for grass eaters. Medium brown for birds on pellet/crumble only. Tuna and brussel sprouts- I have no idea what the poop would look like (that combo makes me gag).

Tuna, Brussel Sprouts, and Carrots; lol. She is still eating. When I brought her in she weighed 3.4lbs today she weighs 3.0lbs, she has been very alert this whole time, like I said seems like "wasting" to me. Her eyes are bright and clear, no runny nose, no wheezing or gasping. Where do tapeworms come from? and what to use for that? Yes they do have daily access to grass.
