Talon Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi all you amazon owners, have you ever noticed how different an amazon's sneezes aRe compared to a grey? Rikki and Talin sneeze and it's no big deal. When Nilah sneezes, I get wet! She sprays everywhere....it just so happens, she is usually perched on my knee when it happens and I feel the shower all over my face. Very strange feeling!

judygram Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sunny my conure can spray all over my face when she sneezes when sitting on my shoulder which has to be something like what Nilah is doing, I haven't noticed that Josey does as she doesn't sneeze often but since Sunny spends a lot of time on my shoulder there is more opportunities for the slight showers I get. I am sure that those from Nilah are more powerful than a conures would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Ah nothing like a wet one. I have never heard or seen Cricket sneeze, but when my dog Bacon has to sneeze, get out a bar of soap and a towel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 When I think about it, none of my three have ever sneezed. That I know about anyway. They do cough though. Each in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdhouse Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The only time I can remember Phenix sneezing is just after he's been preening. You can certainly hear him but fortunately, that's all. I don't ever remember a wet sneeze coming from him. Kura has the most delicate little sneezes. But you wouldn't want to be within range. They're not always wet, but she has gotten me a couple of times. Something's apparently different about her nasal passages. Chewing on some things like loofah or coconut "tickles her nose". She always seems to get water "up her nose" when she's getting or taking a bath, too. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 WOW! How interesting. Judy, I laughed at your reply Maybe my birds are more dusty seeing as they HATE baths, they take very few in a months time...But they do sneeze occasionally, mostly after preening.

judygram Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Mine don't take baths regularly either so it may be more dust around in my home, sloppy housekeeping I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 My parrots all love baths. I spray them soaking wet all the time. They open their wings and turn and just love it. I wonder why. Perhaps my home is dryer than others? I do live in the NW though where it is very wet, so I don't think that is it. But they don't sneeze either.

Talon Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wow, that's interesting, Nilah does sneeze, infant she sneezed 3 times the other night! She probably sneezes at least once a day. Im pretty sure she's to sick, she has always sneezed since I've had her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
