Hi everyone,

I noticed that my conure Champu’s right eye looks noticeably redder around the eye/eyelid compared with the left one.

She is otherwise completely normal and very active. She is eating and behaving normally. There is no watery discharge, pus, obvious swelling, squinting, or keeping the eye closed.

I initially wondered if the red colour could simply be some food/fruit juice staining the feathers. I gently tried cleaning/washing the area, but the redness did not come off, so it doesn’t appear to be an external stain.

I’m currently staying in my native place where I don’t have access to an avian vet. I will be taking her to an avian vet when I’m able to travel back, but until then I wanted to ask here if anyone has seen something similar in their bird.

I’ve attached photos comparing both eyes.

Has anyone experienced this? What was the cause in your bird, and is there anything specific I should watch for until I can get her checked by the avian vet?

Thanks!
