From that photo, both the dried up and the more fresh poops look okay to me.
If Bertie is drinking more water it's only natural for him to have poops a bit more watery. Since he is 12 weeks old, he must be soon starting his moult, that is if he hasn't already started it and during a moult budgies can occasionally have a few slightly more watery poops. The same can happen when budgies are feeling stressed, and in this case the poops go back to the more normal consistency soon after.
Since Bertie is energetic and has a good appetite, he should be fine. Still you can keep on monitoring his poops, if you see they are not improving in terms of normal consistency and Bertie's vent feathers are getting soiled as a result, then you can book him an appointment at the avian vet, so that he is properly checked and treated if need be.
Good luck with everything!
