Our old grey, Eddie, had a Vitamin A deficiency, meaning he was open to infections and eventually caused mass organ failure ( he was an import, sunflower seed junkie and a stubborn little sod that would throw any fresh fruit or veg that was given to him ) His nostrils where completely sealed over at the time and the vet flushed them open for him. But it was too little too late with him.

Our green cheek amazon, Rosie, has always had little "stones" in her nostrils but they are very small and the nostrils are open. They have never gotten any bigger, but we keep a close eye on them. If they the nosrtils are blocked over completely I would say get the bird to the vets and they can flush them so as they are open. It can be a sign of vitamin deficiency or it may be a build up of dust or fresh food that may have worked its way in. I know ours loves mash and her beak is always covered afterwards. If the vet thought it was a deficiency they would take a blood sample, and probably ask to see droppings etc to see how the food is being digested etc etc. Hope that helps a little, but I am no expert`

hi, i was taking care of a mealy amazon ( not a birdline bird).....she also had a blocked nostril......i took her to the vets, she had a vit A deficency.

she is now on harrisons food....and doing wonderful

it may not be the same, but if your at all worried get her checked out

I would agree with belle, if you are worried get the birdie to the vet, it certainly can't do any harm.

On a similar note our Rosie had a lovely shower this morning and her nostrils are now clear. We have a built in soap tray on our shower and Rosie stands on that with our shower on, she then puts her head/body/wings under as she see's fit.
