well
i would say it would be ok
cause think about it
if we drink to much water we go to the bath room alot
so since he has so much water in him
its coming out liquidy
thats what i would think

Increased 'urine' can be normal such as when they eat alot of watery foods like fruit and also when drinking water. Checking your birds poop is a good habit to get into, so you can see the changes. But it can be deceiving sometimes. Because more urine or water comsuption can also mean disease.
I'd watch him to see if hes drinking more water than usual and see if the poops change. It could just be normal but changes in poop can be a first sign of ill health. Its also very hard to predict whats going on with poop too. Thats why I got a book 'The Complete Bird Owners Manual' It has some lovely coloured pictures of different poop samples.

It is a good book, definately worth a read. Everything you need to know really, from feeding your parrot, lists of toxic things, avian anatomy, medical problems and vet care. I bought it online and thought it might have some nice pics of parrots in it. How wrong of me. Some graphic pics in it of sick birds, but the only coloured pics in the middle of the book are of poop. Lovely! Its the first 'bird book' I've bought so I'm happy with it.

thanks giant foottruck...
yesterday i met a guy with tame IRN , he said, irn is clever, but they cant be touch like other bird, they just don't like to be touch...he said i cant even touch him at all, he wil growl and lounge, the only way to comunicate is to let the bird touch him( step up )...
his is hand fed bird...
comparing with tango, he cant be touch all over the body, i can even play wrestling with him...haha, really, sometimes i grab and play around with him, and he likes it...
i was wondering is it just the bird personalities or the owner problem?
looking at that, he has another 1 gray and 1 amazon which is very touchy and cudly...even both don't talk yet...
is there any bird ( IRN) that just don like to be touch in aniway even he is really tame?
ooow, lauren, can help posting the picture ofthe drpping please
thanks...
sorry if it will look awful

It could be the bird personality, or the way its treated at the pet store, like how brainless people trying to touch it or grab it like its some kind of toys...
Bird do have memory and if abused they will remember about it.. I have a cockatiel and she is in love with my face but when it comes to my hand its a no no for her, Im trying very hard to encourage her to "love" my hand as well. The way the petstore keeper tried to catch tilly is very rude, he grabbed her and force her to get in the box, and I told him "cant you just catch it slowly?? They are living things too!"
