I keep noticing my cockatiel sneeze and get worried that he's sick but then the next day barely notice anything. He sneezes 3 times in the hour and a half, 1 when he first woke up, then and hour later sneezes twice only a few seconds apart and both had spray. Then i looked in his nose after the spray and inside was quite wet, it wasnt dripping or leaking outside the nose though, i notice him sneezing a few times a day. Should i be worried?
He is acting more than fine, he is just chatting away to himself while im writing this and is just SO happy. His droppings are normal too.

I notice all my birds sneeze more when the air is dry or when the air purifier needs changing. Have you ruled these causes out?

Well, how do I make the air less dry???
I don't really notice when the air is dry so I wouldn't know if he is sneezing from the air or not :arghh:
I got a new air purifier for Christmas so it wouldn't need changing yet.

A humidifier - you can find one super cheap online, or even local grocery stores often carry them

A hygrometer can help you monitor humidity levels. I heard parrots do well in 40%-60% humidity so I usually make sure I'm around 50-55%.
