If he has no sign of discharge then he's probably just making himself sneeze. They have alot of dust on themselves which can cause them to sneeze & usually the most active sneezing times are when preening or when molting. Molting causes alot of new feathers & dust & sneezing. If he's molting try misting him with water (not straight in the face) it'll help him alot.
