Zebra finch poop

Brought home 2 new finches and they seem to have somewhat watery discoloured poops...yellowish watery bits...
I have previous finches from her...it's where my 4 first guys came from. All of her birds seem impeccably healthy and her cages are always so clean.
The color seems similar to a batch of finches I was given a few weeks ago (that are still in quarantine because of that same concern)
Can this possibly be a stress reaction? They seem completely healthy otherwise. (I'll try to post a picture if I can remember how with my phone)

It just seems more yellow than my other guys. Although they are on newspaper and the new ones always get paper towel because it's easier to see...

The increased yellow stain may just be from their diet. The yellow is coming from their feces, so there is likely just extra moisture that they don't normally get.

I notice this in my birds after giving them fruit juice, they drink more due to the yummy taste!

If there's no smell, it's just from hydration.
