I have already had an email and pictures and now I feel more content that I made the right choice. He has a young lad giving him plenty of attention and they have other birds in the house. It's very quiet here but now I think it was best for him. :) :( :cry:

I have directed the new owners this way so I hope they will join and introduce themselves. I found it very difficult to give him up but I ...

Re: secretions around beak and nostrils

They can get stressed when going into a new environment but what you are describing sounds more like the start of a respiratory problem, I'd get him to a vet as soon as possible and get him checked out. Usually a IRN's nostril and beak area are dry and clean.
Good luck and keep us updated
