I'm not experienced in this but they definitely looked inflamed to me. Hopefully someone with more experience can pipe in. I use a humidifier and if the air is real dry I'll add a wet paper towel in the cage

They don’t looked blocked at all, that inside part that you see is just how they look. The outer part might look a little pink, but it’s hard to tell. Humidity is a good idea, especially as winter sets in. If your bird has any discharge or wet sneezes, then your bird might have a sinus infection.

Hi all, thanks for the replies.
I didn’t want to take any chances as this little chicken means the world to me,so I got a Sunday appointment.
It cost me a fortune but she’s worth it.
It turns out that both nostrils were blocked
And the avian vet said this is caused by a vitamin A deficiency, but also believes she has birdie Chlamydia ? he gave me some medicine for it and asked I give it to her for the next 21 days but her nasals look a 1000% better now

will keep you all up to date
