Hello.
My budgie girl has to small nostrils. We live where there is no avian wet. However there is one wet with extra intrest in birds. My girl always has discharge from the cere and regularly that discharge turns yellow. When that happenes we get antibiotics for her. I also clean her nostrils every day with saltwater when she has this yellow discharge because it hardenes and closes up the nostrils. Our vet says this is her future (birth defect) and she is not even one year old yet. The vet also says that the nostrils can be made bigger but she has never done that. It is very hard for us both (me and the bird) to but her through the cleaning and forcing medication in her every day with such short brakes in between. Does anybody here know of something to feed her or do to harden her for infections. Or do you know anything about widening her nostrils? I do not think it is fair of me to make her carry on like this. She is always high strung, bobbing her tail and short off breath. She eats seeds (trying to get her to try pellets), gets vitamin A on her food, has iodine mineral block and also a cuttlebone. She doesn't get other vitamins at the moment but has had them in the past.
