Thank you so much but the chia seemed to go in deeper now on it's own!

The vet will most likely rinse it out. I've had it done, just pay attention 'cause you may be able to do it yourself in the future. Basically they are held at an angle that the fluid will flush and push water through the cere through the other side, like a sinus flush. He won't be happy.

the chia is all slimy from the steam and her air intake is drawing it inward. Emily’s seed was dry millet and flush with her nostril. So it was level with her nostril and not bumping out.

My vet said she would have applied suction too. The vet can do a nasal flush that I hope will push it right out since it’s slimy.

If you flush one nostril it won't come out the other. If the vet flush's that nare it will come out his mouth, if possible.

Don't think I'm crazy. Put your sweetie in a towel and try to gently suck it out. I have no better way to say it other than do you have a straw? If not... use your lips.

Please let us know the outcome. Don’t stress, you’ll only stress out your bird. He’ll be okay.

No but it seems quite simple.
just put the water through one nare and it should come out of the mouth...
