I’m not sure what you mean when you say that Chico’s nostrils are enlarged. Sometimes when a lovebird sneezes or catches a little cold, the feathers will be slightly damp and blow away from the nostril area. This is fairly normal and nothing to worry about. It should go away fairly quickly. If a couple of days go by and you notice that the area is constantly damp or if it is swollen at all, you will want to take Chico into an avian vet for a check up. Birds can be very sensitive to illness, so it is best not to wait too long if you notice symptoms or changes in their behavior. Lovebirds are relatively small birds, and to maintain their energy they will eat small amounts frequently. Because they eat frequently, they will also “use the restroom” frequently; every ten minutes or so is a rough estimate.
