Re: eye issues?
Sounds like a corneal abrasion, if the cornea gets scratched, a film develops to protect the eye, with dogs, we would use vitamin A oil which came in capsules, we pierced the capsule with a sterile needle and put a drop of oil in the eye twice a day, and the eye would heal beautifully. Whatever you do, Please do Not try and remove the film yourself. You could leave it alone completely and let it heal, it will take quite some time, tho'. If you're Not sure what it is, ask an avian vet, if its an abrasion he won't be able to do anything.
