The answer here is going to be based fully on your observations!

Some Parrots just go too deep into the water bowl and that is the most common source of this kind of sneezing.

So, it all comes to how deep the Bill is Dunked! A Bill that barely touches the water, that will require a more detailed evaluation. A Bill diver, the answer maybe less water in the dish, or the sneezing is just part of life and the water bowl with him.

i only fill Wranglers bowl with about 1/2 inch of water since he only uses it to dunk stuff and make a mess. Not like a dog who drinks a full bowl daily---less water in the bowl is less to spill.

I now see the error I have been making. I have been filling the water way to full.
thanks coopedup

I tried a partially filled bowel to reduce the dunking and the mess making. All I got was a thicker sludge of dunked junk.

I gave up and accepted that I have to change the water dish between four and eleventythousand times a day.

Have you tried putting some apples in it for him?

He probably doesn't want to give the bird any ideas!

My female Scarlet does this all the time. All the time. I catch her 4-5 times a day. She shares a cage with a male who doesn't dunk his beak too deep. We dont fill the water up too much, so we decided that she probably does it to clear out her nasal passages. She's a constantly sneezing weirdo but we love her anyway lol
