Hi and welcome :D can you give us a bit more information on your feathered baby? How old? Male or female? How long have you had him/her? What is the diet like? What is the cage like? We would love to be able to help if you could just provide us with a starting point. Thanks :D

Awww, a baby. I love the little ones. They love to be nestled in warm spots at this point. That is completely normal. At such a small age it is easy for small particles of dust or other small irritants to make your baby sneeze. It isn't a concern unless you start to see discharge from the nares or here a struggling gurgling noise or a rapid breathing when the baby is at rest. Also, when you feed, make sure to clean the entire area around the beak of any missed formula and try to keep it away from the nares all together. Can't wait to see a pic of your little one :D
