Hi everyone. I have been slyly reading posts and information gathering for a few months on here whilst waiting the hatching and collecting of my new baby :)

Yesterday I collected my Yellow Crowned Amazon Jadey. :) She seems to like her new home and has been exploring her cage (which is convinently taking up my usual 'christmas tree spot' so the tree has been relegated into a corner lol.

I do have a query about a sneezing issue, she has sneezed a few times and had the occasional bit of clear discharge and 'bubble'. Googling this obviously made me very neurotic! I rang the breeder who said to keep an eye on her and that it could just be change in environment.

Upon inspection one of her 'nostrils' was blocked so I cleaned that off and the discharge is less (sometimes not at all, sometimes a bit of a bubble). I wondered if the two hour car journey (with heating on) combined with change on environment/central heating is just taking her some getting used to? I took her in the bathroom today for a bit of a steam, and have a dish of water on the radiator - this made a difference. She sneezed again with a bubble after eating some seeds (she is also on pellets but weaning off the seeds). Eating and drinking fine, playing and chattering. Was considering a trip to the vets on tuesday to have a check over, but don't want to put her in risk if she is fine.

Has anyone experienced this before? Am I being over cautious?

Thank you in advance!:green2:
 
If you haven't already, I highly recommend a well bird check up. It's always a good idea when you get a new friend.
 
All newly purchased birds should have a veterinary exam. Sneezing with discharge is not to be ignored. I love the name!
 
Thanks. It seems to have stopped, but am taking her in on wednesday anyway. My daughter thought of the name because she didn't look like a Penny (what she was originally going to be) xx
 
Welcome to the forum! I hope you're going to share pictures of our new baby soon? :D

I also vote for a checkup anyways, which I just read your last post- so yay! I hope all turns out well!
 
This is the only pic I have on computer, the rest are on my phone! That is if I have figured out how to do it. lol
