Sneezing

I think my bird had a sneezing fit tonight and I am a little worried. He was standing by his food dish and he sneezed (well, they sounded like sneezes) at least 10 times, one right after another. Is that a sign that he could be sick? I am such a worrier!!

by any chance had he just taken a drink or tried to get food from the bottom of his water dish? mine sneezes after doing that to get the water from his nose lol

are there something to irritate him, there?
if not, he may catches a cold.
A mutivitamin supplement in his drinking water, or in his fruits and vegetables is useful.
If sneeze continue i suggest to take him to a vet, maybe for an antibiotic.
Has he any other syptoms?

He has been acting totally normal and he hasn't sneezed since. His appetite is good and he is very active. I am keeping a close eye on him and if it happens again I am calling the vet!!

Yep thats what I reckon too, just trying to get something out that went where it shouldn't have.
