Sneezing

[Akraya]

Hi guys,
My Misha has been scratching his nose a lot, nail in and all and sneezing and it's been all good but last sneeze he sneezed out what can only be described as water? He's had a shower and a drink an hour or two ago but nothing too recent, could it just be a once off stuck water or should I be driving? No scare tactics, worrying myself enough

I once got sprayed by one of my budgies sneezing on me and a few times the sneeze drops wood spray on the mirror they have. Ugh I think they sneeze because they preen and shake all about and the dandruff makes them fussy. I don't think thats anything to worry about but its just an opinion wait for the smart ones here to answer so you can get closure whether to take him to vet or you know.

Mine do that from time to time. I don't think it's anything to worry about as long as the sneezes are clear and there is no mucus in it.

Mishka does the same occasionally after having a shower.
Just keep an eye open tho, on his breathing and check if there is any mucus
When this first happened to Mishka I did take him to the vet, just for peace of mind.
I always say.... rather be safe than sorry

My GCC regularly "snots" all over me, but it's always clear and never any actual mucus. My Goffin does it too - she's REALLY bad about sticking her talon in, shaking it around in her Nare and then sneezing several times. She does it habitually! The first time Loki did it, I took him straight to the vet and she said he was fine. No discharge, no mucus means he was just cleaning his nares out.

Sometimes they can get water up there, apparently. As long as it's clear, no discharge and no mucus, sounds like your guy is just fine.

Thanks guys, reassurance is a good thing! He was sleepy in the afternoon as well which added to my worry but we had been outside testing out the harness and he was flying a fair bit so I put it down to that. Gonna keep a close watch today just to make sure =)
