My sun conure made a couple wet sneezes today. He has done this before as well. It's wet. I feel it spraying on me. The bird doesn't have any other symptoms of illness. Should I be worried?

Here it is. Sorry for the quality. His nares are so so tiny and he moves so much.

A few wet sneezes are pretty much harmless. I've had both of my cockatiels do that to me.

It's normal. Birds don't have saliva but they have an area in the roof of the mouth called the choana that has mucus in it, and it's common for some of the mucus to blow out when they sneeze. You're getting hit with birdie snots lol. Happens to me a lot.
