Nothing to treat for IMO. The different colors in feces are not an indicator of tapeworm. If the feces is dark and clear, like areas of intestine lining, then it may be a problem but I would keep feeding them well and watch for more of this type of feces. Also, a picture of the feces would be better.

Have you ever wormed them? I'd worm them, that pigeon looks fairly young. It will clean them out and allow them to grow. If they take flakes, feed them De-Worming flake from Angel Plus, good stuff.

No, the flake is for roundworms not tapeworms. Your fish most likely do not have tapeworms.
