I don't know but there was a specific website which tells you all about different bird poop, anybody remember?

PauliePattie,

Runny poop is not necessarily bad, but yellow is not good. Yellow feces could be an indication of fatty liver disease or kidney problems.

It would be best to have your bird seen by an avian vet.

Things to consider: has your bird been on an all seed diet? How old is he/she?

Hope this helps!

What type of treats did they eat?

For young birds, such as yours, seeds would not necessarily cause yellow poop, but after many years on a seed only diet, a bird could develop fatty liver disease. Yellow runny poop is a sign of this disease. I've seen it many times in birds as young as one-two years old.

Hmmm...
By your tickers and "hatched on" dates I assumed that they were babies. Where did you get them?

Please take them to an avian vet, yellow runny poops are not normal at all and unusual droppings are often the first sign of illness.
