Nares

Nares are a bird's nostrils.

The nares are located directly above the beak.

On some birds, such as the budgerigar, the nares are situated within the cere.

The nares of a pet bird should be dry and clean. If they appear to be clogged, moist, or are runny (like a runny nose), the bird should be seen by an avian veterinarian.
