Birds may sneeze, chirp, and breath hard, but they are unable to cough. In able for an organism to cough they inhale particles, postnasal drip, or accumulation of fluids. These types of irritation cause the sensory neurons in the respiratory passages to send impulses to intake air, trap it in the lungs by closing the epiglottis, and the muscles around the diaphragm to contract so the air (and hopefully the irritating substance) is forced out. Birds do have lungs but they do not have a diaphragm. This means that air is circulated through pressure changes in the air sacs. The absence of the diaphragm means that there is no way for a bird to cough.
