Sometimes i find my finches/canary will produce watery stools if they are stressed. Its usually short term and not over a period of weeks, tho. Hope you find whats affecting your birds.

I would call ladygouldian.com and get her advice.... the fact that they are eating have no solid matter and brown urine is concerning.

They are just watery brown droppings, but I know thats not normal. They are all acting normal eating well and are very healthy besides the droppings.
Maybe they just appear off color because they are watery. As long as the birds are eating and otherwise looking healthy I wouldn't worry too much.
Watery droppings could be from many different things like green foods they may be eating, stress, high humidity and/or heat. I would just keep an eye on them for any further symptoms, then reassess.

Rancel, I agree the weather has been terrible here...really hot and humid earlier in the day and down pours in the afternoon. Our upper and lower lake that are connected by what looks like a large step are now about level. To much rain and moisture and heat.
