Nico has been wheezing, and having a whistling sound coming out of his nostrils. His vet is out of town so he seen a different one. He isn't a big fan of vets, and he thinks they are darth vader. He prefers to bite, or scream at them.
He had his first nasal flush! he didn't like that at all. He protested that being done for sure. The vet could see some buildup behind the fold in his right nostril. I'm hoping this is a good fix to his situation as he has been rubbing his beak agaist his bars, and is missing a lot of feather's around his nostrils. I can't imagine that feels good. He also has been sticking his ekkie claws in his nostrils as well. She did look at the sample she got from the nasal flush. She is thinking because Nico regurgitates that some food got lodged in his nostril. I am just hoping this is the case, and it isn't anything more serious.
Nico has just been resting in his nighttime room sense getting back from his vet appointment. I usually let him calm down, and rest after he gets that worked up. He's eating, and drinking as usual.

He was really scared that was for sure. He was shaking, and grabbing my clothes because he didn't want to be toweled.

Nico is getting his favorite! I feel bad for his nasal flush although it really appears to of helped him. He just needs some love, and cuddles!

Nico spent sometime outside today. It’s beautiful, and sunny. He’s a happy boy! He’s honking, and is happily flapping his wings in excitement.

It was such a beautiful day out today. It's supposed to be beautiful all weekend too. I am very excited.
I bet Cotton will love it outside. Nico goes out for about 20 minutes. He will start panting, and then want back inside just to turn around to run to the back door to go back outside. Then he will scream if I ignore his requests at the back door to go outside. This isn't fun in the winter. So there are downfalls to this

Nico absolutely has been to the back door several times, along with begging for dog food (No, I do not feed him dog food but I am assuming in his past he had it because he sure does beg for it).

I just had my AC unit replaced, and a dual zone system installed. The AC was broke this entire time. I am hoping with all of these things perhaps Nico's respiratory issues improve some as well. It was so humid in my house. I used to cover him at night as well to make sure he got a good nights sleep. I have stopped covering him as he himself has a lot of dander.
Nico thought he was a tough cookie to the people installing the AC unit, and dual zone system. He jumped down from his stand, got in attack mode, and charged The longer I have Nico the more I realize he really doesn't like strangers. New people really overstimulate him.
I am crossing my fingers that with some of these changes Nico will improve!
