Sprite the cinnamon green cheek conure.
Sprite has been scratching his nose and sneezing more than usual. Its usually when hes tired, but lots of stuff comes out when he sneezes (i actually have bird boogers all over my eye because he just sneezed in my face haha) is this normal? I am going to be taking him to the vet in like the next month, so he will get checked then, but do you think it needs to be seen soon, or is this normal???

Erin used to sneeze lot and actually pick her nose when we first got her but it stopped after a week and there was no discharge. If there is 'boogers' I would go see a vet

If she has birdie boogers I would take her to the vet and get it checked out now and not wait , better to be safe than sorry . Mine sneeze occasionally but there are never any boogies in it .
Good luck and keep us posted : )

Scooter -- male Green Cheek Conure "Normal" but that's a matter of opinion! Hatched in March 2010

Scotty -- Male Cape Parrot hatched somewhere between 2007-2009 we think

Caballo Blanco -- male C
If the sneeze is "productive" a vet visit is definitely in order. A dry sneeze could be from feather dust or even just imitated, but if there is a discharge, it's definitely worth checking out.
