Sun conure bald near tip of eye?

[flightless]

I was lucky enough to find an image that looks very similar to mine, but I noticed my conure has skin showing around the tips of the eye on both sides, is this normal? If not, is there anything I should do?

My two year old Sun's eyes look nearly identical to the picture.

You mean the wide white ring? If so, that's totally normal. The ridges and wrinkles of the skin are normal too. The feathers are normally thinner in that immediate area as well.

If your conure's eye looks like that birds, he is probably very healthy.

I know the spots you are talking about. I used to worry about them too. It's those 2 spots at the tip of the white flesh round the eyes where it meets the edge of beak right? Even with a good dose of vitamin A, my sun conure gets sparse there when he is molting. Perfectly normal with sun conures I think.

Here's a few pics if it makes you feel any better...
