How old is your bird? How long have you had him? Does he have any cagemates? When you say enlarged, do you mean one or both of the actual openings (nares) or the area where the nares are located (the cere)? Has it always been this way or is it something recent? Is there any kind of nasal discharge? Has there been any changes in his behavior, eating habits or droppings? If you can give me this additional information it will help me give you my best possible answer. Thanks Patricia
