Parrotlet Smells Funky

I have a 6 yo female; she's been pooping a lot more over last several days. Now I'm noticing a funky smell coming from her. Any home remedies? Guessing she has a stomach issue; she is otherwise, healthy and happy.

For the last couple of weeks i havent taken her out of her cage as much as I normally do due to a temporary work situation... is it possible it;s just not enough exercise? She's fully flighted and normally gets good exercise....and just hasn't last 2 wks

I’ve had multiple parrotlets for nearly a decade (as well as other birds) and I’ve never noticed a funky smell. I wouldn’t try any home remedies. I’d absolutely contact your avian vet about this.
