Something's stuck in my little buddy's nose! Like a seed hull or something. Don't know how I can get that out... Get appointment I guess...

for one of my birds with husk stuck in nose the vet did a nasal flush. For my grey the solid seed, not husk, in his nostril wouldn’t budge so she had to use a special pointy tool and pry it out.

Don’t use force, but you can try misting your bird or giving your bird a bath, which might dislodge it.

it's call a rhinolith and best to try baths, spray the shower and hope it loosen itself up. if it's blocking enough air your bird will be panting then you needs to see a vet.

Hey all. He doesn't have it anymore. But I may need to book into the vet for a general check up soon anyway. Thanks everyone.
