Why is my bird sneezing clear liquid? Is it sick or molting?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

My bird has sneezed clear liquid, twice, he seems to be normal. He also just started molting ( I don't know if this might have anything to do with it). Could he be sick or have some sort of a infection?

Hi and thank you for this question, Please watch Emilio for a day or two more. If sneezing continues he might have an upper respiratory infection. Otherwise, if he behaves normally and stops sneezing then there is no need to do anything.
