Gould poop question

[cntrymeadow]

I have had my male/female Goulds for about a month I think.
Every once in a while the female will have poop sticking to her backside.
Its hard to tell if its stuck to her vent or the feathers right there.
Im concerned that she is going to get plugged up as it appears the poop is not runny enough to simply plop to the ground?

They are fed:

ABBA finch seed
Hearty Bird vitamins, liq. iodine, liq. calcium per recs.
Free feed: herb salad, charcoal, fruit pellets, oyster shell, millet sprays
Fruit: leaf lettuce, apple, cucumber
They also have a mineral block and cuttle bone in the cage.

They do not seem interested in:
fruit pellets, oyster shell, any fresh fruit/veggies, mineral block or cuttle bone

Is this something to worry about? It eventually falls off and she seems fine.
Or is there something else I need to be feeding them?

I don't think I would be too concerned. You seem to have them on a well balanced diet.
I had rather it be that way than runny.......Do you feed them powdered kelp? I did not notice it on the list. Perhaps you could add that to their diet.

No powdered kelp as I thought the liq. iodine replaces that no?
I also forgot to add they also have eggfood but they dont seem to eat it.
Ive also tried to give them chopped up cooked egg but they dont seem to like that either!!!

Thanks!
I knew there was an article about that somewhere.
It doesnt appear to be anything abnormal but will keep an eye on her.
It has only happened twice since I got them so maybe its just one of those things.

Hopefully it will be okay. Keep us posted!
