i have a question , related to my hahns macaw , lately he was sneezing in the mornings with running nose , and then its ok thru the day , but ten days ago i noticed that he has tail-bobbin, which what i read so far online means lots of problems related , by the way i changed his diet from seeds to pellets completly one month and half ago, i took him to the avianvet and he is now on antibiotics and other treatment for the last ten days , im even doing him nebulizers three times a day with f10 anticeptic, he seems fine so far but today he started sneezing this morning again but than thru the day he is fine, even his apetite is really good . im just wondering if it cuold be that he maybe alergic to like in humans hyfever.?? any help wuold be appriciated.

How many days has he been on the antibiotics? Is there any discharge from his nose when he sneezes? If there is no discharge, I wouldn't be overly concerned. All of mine sneeze every now and then.

Have you considered adding an air filter, to see if that will help? Depending on what part of the world you are in, it's possible there's a bunch of pollen flying through the air, and he may be reacting to that.

In any case, don't hesitate to address this with your avian vet.

Here is an example of an air filter. I'm sure you could order one online, or perhaps even find one locally?
