Here's a link to the pigeon supply. You probably will need to order meds on line.

How long have you had the bird? What kind of shape was he in? Green droppings CAN be a sign of starvation, however, if you've had him more than 48 hours and the green poop still exists, my firsst guess would be cocci.
You can find Sulmet at any feed store that sells stuff for chickens. Comes in a 16oz bottle for around $8. No need to order anything for cocci.

This is what it looks like.
