How often does she sneeze? Does she look sick? If she's sick, she might have a bobbing tail, no energy, mucus coming out of her nostrils, a fluffed up body, and lack of appetite. This means that she is definitely ill and should be taken to a vet. In the meantime, keep her away from the rest of your flock in a quiet, warm, and comfortable cage with food and water nearby.

But, if she just sneezes randomly, with no mucus coming out, she's probably fine. Sometimes my birds drink too fast and get water up their nostrils. :p They then have a little "sneeze attack" to get it out. :)

She's probably fine then! She might have gotten a little dust particle or dirt in her nostril and it might tickle. :p She's just clearing her nostrils of the dirt and getting rid of the irritation. :)

My budgies will sometimes sneeze for fifteen seconds or so (it feels like forever watching them!), but then they are done. :)

Sometimes they just go through these little sneeze fits. It sounds like little kissing noises but it's actually sneezing. As long as it's not continuous it's probably nothing to worry about.

Yep. If you ever hear your bird making those little kissy noises, that's sneezing.
