Galah Eye, normal?

[kalbox]

Hello

I have raised 2 other birds but never a cockatoo and i have recently recieved this cute 2-4 month old galah cockatoo. i noticed this watery redness under his eye, i was wondering if this is a problem or going to be a problem? The bird doesn't show any irritation or discomfort/pain. He plays around the house and is very active. He eats very well and poops fine too. I just wanted a professional opinion before having to go to the vet.





Many Thanks

Needs to go to the vet, looks infected. I would go asap, if eye infections get to bad you could loose the eye. Cute baby by the way, congrats on your new fid.

Welcome to the forum

He is adorable... I would take him to the vet to get it checked out.

Ouch. No that's not normal. He needs a vet run.

Thanks guys

just got back from the vet, he said there's nothing wrong but still gave me some antibiotics and eyedrops just incase. I'll be going to see him again in 10 days.

Thanks ( you all have beautiful birds btw )
