Whenever my cockatiel hisses at me or gets really aggressive, I notice a very thin, wind-like sound coming from his nostrils. It’s almost as if his nostrils act like a flute, creating the sound when air passes through. While I occasionally hear it during intense hissing, I’ve noticed it happens much more often after he’s been flying a lot. The sound usually stops after a few seconds.
I want to clarify that this sound isn’t coming from his lungs or chest. His nostrils look completely normal—no redness, swelling, or blockage. This has been happening for years, so it’s not something new. I’m just curious if anyone else has experienced this with their bird or knows what might be causing it.
