Cockatiel nostrils turning brown

[Bird&Ant lover]

My lutino cockatiel about 1 1/2 years old seems to have something brown under both its cerces. Should i take him to the vet?

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.
If none are near you, maybe you could call and ask for a recommendation for somebody in your area.
And... sometimes, distant vets will offer brief thoughts or advice...
