My second thread of the day! -.-

Guapo's left nostril is swollen, and appears to be coming away from his beak, it was red this morning but has since returned to normal colour, though the swelling hasn't changed. I did have the air con on heat for quite a while last night and that's all I can think of that would aggravate it. There is no discharge whatsoever and the right side in completely normal and flat.

This is the swollen nostril.

Here you can see the normal flat one, and how the swollen one is sticking out.

Could be localized trauma from his toenail. Hahnzel digs pretty good sometimes and makes himself sneeze. If its still swollen in the morning it could be a localized infection and a quick trip to the vet wouldn't hurt.
