This presentation (green, stinky, and diarrhea) can be caused by anything which results in too-rapid transit time.
Birdseed stool is typically due to poor digestion of fats or small intestine problem.
Mucus on a rare basis is simply losing a mucus plug and nothing to worry about but more frequently or when connected to a specific food it can indicate irritation of the colon.
As I recall there is info on stool appearances in

and if memory serves there is at least one past vet post (I think from Dr. Bruce Williams.) which tells about assorted stool appearances in
http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org
but I think it may be the same as the above
