Nose/Cere Bruise?

Postby snuffkin » Tue Apr 24, 2012 8:07 am

Hello,

i've noticed what looks like a bruise on my Hahns Macaw's nose in the last day.
He is almost a year old and the mark is only on one side of the cere. His behavior seems normal though he was itching his nostril for a while earlier. He hasn't been sneezing or showing any signs of discomfort but I just don't know what to make of it.

Can anybody help me out??

Thanks in advance,

Doesn't look like a big deal at all. Mine get those all the time whether by fighting, falling, or crashing into things on the fly. They heal pretty quickly.

Thanks Michael, he had sinusitis in the same week he came home with me so we were a little worried it was something bad.

Thanks again for the help,
