This forum is for advice about initial treatment given to your injured/sick bird until a qualified avian veterinarian is available. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO REPLACE VET CARE
My baby sun Conure (about 5 months) looks like he has a purple sore on the skin around his eye. So far he’s been acting and eating as normal but I’m fairly certain that a nasty looking sore is NOT NORMAL. What is it, and should I contact my vet?
Looks like a scratch or bruise. How long has he had that? Can you email the photo to your vet?
Sometimes scratches or bruises clear up on their own but sometimes it's a good idea to take the bird to vet and have any sores or injuries checked.

I just noticed it today, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t there yesterday. I’ll see what I can do to contact my vet. He’s molting as well, do you think he might have accidentally scratched himself too hard while he was picking at a pin feather?
