This morning when I went to feed Roxy, I noticed that the feathers around her nares were wet. Should I be concerned? She is eating and acting normally otherwise.
Wetness around the nares. Should I be concerned?

Hmm, hard to say. Could be discharge, but she may have also just gotten the feathers wet while drinking/playing in her water. Since this was posted in the morning, I'd say that if her nares still look wet, a vet visit would be best.

13yr. old male umbrella cockatoo,
we call him Amigo!
7yr. old Goffin cockatoo, she IS Sassy!!
Once in a while, Amigo's nostrils will be wet in the morning but not too often, maybe...every 8th day. He is so dusty that I attribute it to that. He's probably having a reaction to himself! If it continues, vet check, for sure.

How is Roxy today? Hoping maybe it was just a sneeze and clearing of something in her nasal passage 
I was told that any time you see wetness in that area you should be concerned and take her to the vet.

Great news!!! Sometimes my Oliver (male R/S Eclectus) will sneeze (not often) and the area around his nares are wet - but they do dry and I won't see this happen again for months. Glad all is well!!!

This sometimes happens with eclectus parrots. If the discharge dries up then all is OK. Some irritation. However if the discharge doesn't clear up then it's off to the Vet for a check up.
If you don't give Roxy hot chilie peppers then I would give her 1 every day. Great source of vitamins. My birds get them everyday.
