Help
My new rehomed quaker is not eating enough. she hardly eats anything until around supper then her appetite picks up. Her poops are runny most of the time . Ive given her what she is accustomed to. even a seed mix she just picks out the canary grass seed.

With a new parrot, it's always a good idea to schedule a visit with a veterinarian shortly after the parrot comes home. An avian certified vet is best, but one with experience in caring for birds will do. That would be my best suggestion for your new Quaker. The vet could determine if there are any underlying health problems that may be causing your QP to eat so little-- and will undoubtedly know what to do about it.
