You need to catch him and confirm that he does or does not have fluid and/or food in it. He looks pretty perky in that picture.

It's been my experience that one with watery, green poop means they have a bacterial infection. Can you take him to a vet?

Can you get a hold of him and feel his crop? Do you think he could of gotten into something poisonous?

You can give him molasses or Epsom salt..
1 pint (0.05L) of molasses or
1 pound (0.5 kg) of epsom salt per 5 gallons (19 L) water.
