Birds sneeze - sometimes a lot - especially when preening and/or molting. Their noses gets bothered by the feather dust, just like people. Many times I've seen my birds actually stick a toenail in their nostril, and in essence make themselves sneeze. And, they will sneeze multiple times in a row. If your bird is sneezing non-stop, all day long, or really excessively, sneezing at times other than preening, showing any other signs such as listlessness, restlessness, fluffed up, lethargic or any other signs of illness, or has any nasal discharge or wetness around the cere, above it or below it, then I would suggest a trip to the vet.
