With his nares, everything in the beak matches exactly. One part of the mouth belongs to the maxilla. Inside of the nares is something called the operculum, which is a small, round, and brown piece of tissue. This is normal, but some people may mistake it for an obstruction. Place one finger on one side of his upper lip, near his nostrils. Bring your finger upwards in the shape of a " triangle. The myelles use his eyes to examine noses. These are taught with a trained bird at all ages.
