Thanks for reaching out about Kukoo and including photos. It is also difficult to identify the brown areas you refer to. Nasal discharge is common, leaving dried accumulations. Nasal staining can also occur due to air quality. An air filter could help. Do you offer bathing for your budgies? If you notice sneezing or respiratory problems, a veterinary visit should be scheduled. Good luck.
