Sick conure?

I have a sun conure who is a little bit over six weeks old and got him from a breeder. The breeder supposedly hand fed it, however, my bird, Juan Pierre, does not have an eating response so it's a hassle to hand feed him everyday because he doesn't necessarily want to take the food.

His poop is sometimes all green surrounded by liquid with some white in it, and sometimes it's just a little green feces. We did put little seeds in his cage and he's finally picking at them. I've had him since Friday, August 19th.

I've had conures in the past and they were extremely active. Juan Pierre however likes to sleep, and sometimes will fall asleep after standing somewhere for a while. The only thing he likes to do that is active is climb on to the top of someone's head. He can already perch and is friendly with everyone. He is for the most part fully feathered. I'm just not sure if this behavior is typical that he is often falling asleep. Maybe it's because he's just a baby? Please let me know.
