The best thing you can do is have Loki examined by a veterinarian. When birds show signs of illness they can get very sick very quickly. Antibiotics may be needed. Treatment depends on the underlying cause of the symptoms. You can refer to this link for more information: ( http://parrotfeather.com/budgie/faq/sneezing/ )

Hi, and thanks for your question. This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
