So my conure has had this issue where his nose is sometimes leaking water. He loves to dunk his pellets into his water and sometimes even dunk his head to get the pellets. Heās done this since he was a baby, sometimes his nose leaks for a day and other days heās perfectly fine. Heās 9 months now and Iāve had him for about 6 months.
I know what youāre thinking , could it actually be discharge or a respiratory issue, hes gone to the vet 3 different times for this, 1 for an emergency check in so you know Iāve taken this seriously lol. Heās seen 3 differnt vets and each time they tell me heās a wonderful healthy bird, these doctors were all avian specialist , I made sure to check before hand. They told me his lungs were good and his heart was healthy and that his nose checked on the right boxes which is absolutely wonderful to hear it just leaves me wondering what can I possibly do now lol.
I feel bad watching him with water running out of his nose and sneezing and scratching to get it out. He still plays, he still is loud, heās his normal self , I just donāt know what to do and if this is healthy for him in the long run which feels like itās not. Iāve seen people suggest switching to the water bottle method. I just need ideas and advice if theyāve dealt with something similar , if anyone can help me out Iād appreciate it .
