I wonder if there is a seed up there. My cockatiel :pied: Sweetie had a seed stuck in each nostrile. Since she is so little they only stuck on the end. He might have oe up farther. If he doesn't stop in a couple of days I would take him to a vet to get it checked. A seed could cause an invection.

Other than that it has to be a funny sight.

This is a normal action for birds. After they stick the nail in thier nostril you should hear a PPHHHHT, as they try to blow out any items (boogies) that they broke loose. Mine do it all the time as does my daughters birds.
