Nostril color in rose breasted!

[Teresanjlk]

Hi I have a 6 month old female rose breasted. I don't mean to sound weird but her nostrils are dark, she is healthy, active, good eater. Is this normal. I am a bit paranoid when it comes to her as I lost a rosie years ago after a long fight with a terminal illness.

It would be best if you could show us a pic

I would also suggest emailing a pic to your avian vet and asking what they think. After all, they are the experts!

How do I post a picture

When she was seen by vet after I got her, nothing was mentioned about her nostrils

Welcome to the forums, thanks for joining!!

Have the nostrils changed since the last visit to the vet? If you don't have an avian certified vet, it would be nice to have one available as birds are very much a specialty!

She did see a certified avian vet. No they haven't changed much I don't thinks. Maybe I just noticed them more last night.

While I don't have rose breasted toos, the nostrils look good to me. And what a beautiful bird she is, such rich color!!

Hi, she is lovely. If a cert AV has seen her then just keep an eye and if she is poking it too much/often then make another appointment.

Thank you, I feel better! She is a sweetheart. She hasn't been scratching at them so I guess all is good. Nice to have other parrot parents take a look though!
