I believe green colored poop is a sign of a bacterial infection. Is there anyone you can take it to for a diagnosis?

Certain foods can discolor the droppings....had he had dark leafy greens or are the droppings a lighter green. Could you post a clear picture of the droppings.

I suggest a heat lamp on him, this will aid him in keeping warm and not using his reserves on trying to get warm. It is vital to keep him warm right now. Place it near were he is roosting, if to warm he can move away from it, place it preferably on the side.

Dark green can be Liver Disease or Anorexia....if dark green it could be because he is not eating, there can be another reason he stopped eating.

Light green can be Liver Disease

You cannot hand feed most of the adult birds. They will not accept. Forced feeding can suffocate the bird (if the food goes into the respiratory tract) resulting immediate death.
