What causes the nostril thing? Is it malnutrition or bacterial or?

Sux to see this kind of thing.

We have all kinds of problems locally too. There is a store/breeder names Featherheads in Sterling, VA. They have taken four dead birds to Pender Veterinary Clinic. The dead birds have been diagnosed with PDD! The vet has asked them to quarantine all their birds and close shop until they get it under control. Have they done anything - NO! Doors are open people come and go and tons of birds get sold. This is a confirmed thing not hear-say. There is more on this place.

Here is a list of Rescue places. I used to have a more complete list and will make one when I get a chance.
