Thanks for the information

I would like to thank everyone for the advice. I have some what ruled out a cold because there is no sneezing and he only waters out of his left eye. The idea of a barb or something lodged in there may be closer to the problem. I do notice when he eats his Zupreem that he sticks his entire head in the dish while eating and will sometimes flick out the pieces he doesn't want. So perhaps he got a small piece of food in the corner of his eye. I know he really needs a bath but I am affraid to get him wet because I do not want to make the problem worse by doing so. But the water may help clean his eye (he loves to have the bath tub filled to halfway up his wing. Of course i do not leave the bathroom while he bathes.
Birdlady - The vet I take him to his Dr. Peter Hill in Cincinnati, Ohio and he is really great. He specializes in avian medicine and exotics. He takes care of the penguins for The Newport Aquarium so if they trust him with thier birds then I know I can trust him with mine. Dr. Hill's staff is amazing. They take their time to answer any/all questions and even call you in a couple days to see if you have any new questions and to see how your beloved family member is doing. We also have Dr. Dalhausen. Who is a very good expert in the field of avian medicine (but with whom I had a very bad experience). Also Coco does not show any discharge from the nose. No tail bobbing or any abnormal sounds when breathing. If any one else has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Also I will keep this board informed as to what the vet says when I get him in there.


Thanks again,
Sam
