I'm uncomfortable clicking links, but if you go to your profile and scroll to albums on the right side panel, you can then upload images. Once you create album and upload, copy the image code and then come back to the thread, click the mountain icon above the text box for the post and past the code in. That should allow the picture to show in the thread
It doesn't look normal to me.
All my Tiels nares are round.
It looks like there is some kind of buildup at the bottom of the hole.

I tend to agree- they look oval in this picture. When was the last time you took your bird to an avian vet?
Not normal. Infection plus possibly low vitamin A.
Needs avain veterinarian.
Feed bell pepper, hit chili peppers both hsve lots of vitamin A, as well as cooked carrots sbd cooked sweet potatoes. Romaine lettuce has vitamin A as well.

Except :
" Parrot Vitamin A deficiency, hypovitaminosis A, is one among the most common and preventable diseases that affect your pet birds, but it frequently goes unrecognized. Generally, birds on all-seed diets will most likely suffer from vitamin A deficiency and disease, as most of the seeds, such as sunflower seeds, grains and peanuts do not contain this vitamin. Because of their selective feeding habits, vitamin A deficiency is a self-inflicted disease caused by their inadequate diet. Vitamin A is found in many fruits and vegetables, and feeding your bird with a diet rich in these will help prevent vitamin A deficiency.
This deficiency may weaken a bird and make it more susceptible to bacterial, fungal and viral infections. The cells lining the respiratory tract, reproductive organs and digestive tract undergo structural change, disabling them to secrete mucus. If left untreated, the secondary conditions may further lead to the demise of the bird. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, and an antioxidant that helps in the growth and repair of tissues. It is also essential for the proper functioning of the bird’s eyes, skin, bones, mucus membranes and hearing"

No, the nostrils, especially the Parrot's right nostril appears Inflamed /Infected below the opening.
I'm electing not to comment of the shape of the nostrils as there can be variations, I'm not aware of.
Time to move quickly to an Avian Medical Professional!
