Hi all,
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this type of sneezing with their birds before. I have a lovebird (almost 2 years later this month). Sometimes she wakes up from a nap sneezing and/or boogery. She makes tiny little sneeze sounds and shakes her head quickly. It’s been going on for a while (like many months to even years) and doesn’t happen every time, only occasionally. I’m wondering if that’s normal?
She’s been vaccinated, tested for common avian diseases, is seen by a vet at least annually, and is my only bird. I weigh her less frequently than I should but her weight hasn’t changed. We live in Miami, FL which is usually warm 70s-90s F but the last two weeks it’s been significantly colder, 60s-70s. I intend to take her for her annual visit and vaccines in March. Should she been seen sooner?
No other symptoms at all, behavior, eating, and sleep patterns are the same. Daily she eats colored pellets (haven’t been able to switch to uncolored), homemade chop (vegetables, grains, a few fruits) with greens and chia and flax seeds added daily, Zupreen pure fun treat mix, millet, and nutriberries and the occasional pinch of bread or cracker. Sleeps covered by a blanket and in a small sleep cage in my clothes closet for 12 or more hours nightly.
Pictures may or may not be relevant. Were taken last night in humid bathroom while I was taking a hot shower during a sneeze spell, after she had taken a nap. This was right before bedtime. I have a video too but can’t figure out how to share.
Thanks for the help!
