HI i too have a cockatiel with the same problem - we were up in perth for family illness in hospital and upon return from there noticed that our birds eye was swollen with a white mass to the front of eye which had pushed her eye ball back as such, my wife took to the vet in albany wa but was told their is not vet in albany who specialises in birds.
He put a small hole in the top and drained the fluid, over the next couple of days we constantly cleaned the area and i continued to drain the area that continued to swell as the pics above.
After a couple of days i noticed a large hard white mass which after a bit of squeezing was able to remove it did leave a rather big hole which we flushed with saline and continued to monitor. It healed fully within 2 days.
Now as of this morning the same thing has happened to her other eye i was able to remove the white mass but too me it also looks like a little red ball of fluid is just infront of the eye itself and was wondering is this just because of the swelling / redness???????????? I have attached a picture of her eye to see if anyone could help in any possible things it may be or assist in medicial treatment besides the saline we are already administering to her.
She is drinking eating and seems exactly as she was before all this happened - we will continue to clean etc and ill try and get in to see the vet tomorrow.
