The avian species commonly referred to as budgerigars possess a smooth and glossy structure surrounding their nasal apertures, which contains a soft tissue known as cere. It functions as a pivotal determinant in the identification of gender. Endocrine dysfunction, age-related endocrinopathy, and hypovitaminosis are potential factors that may contribute to hormonal imbalances. It is possible for budgerigars to form a conclusion. Open-mouth breathing and respiratory discomfort are observable clinical symptoms. Surgical intervention is the recommended course of action for the treatment of such instances. A 13-year-old male budgerigar presented with nasal swelling and discoloration symptoms and was referred to the Department of Surgery at the Veterinary Faculty of Ataturk University. The physical assessment revealed an enlarged cere that exceeded the typical size, respiratory distress, and discoloration characterized by a dark brown hue. After conducting a comprehensive clinical evaluation, it was concluded that surgical intervention would be the most optimal therapeutic approach. Complete recovery was observed in the postoperative period without any complications. The patient's breathing improved.
