Red Under an Eye

User Question
my bird is about 4 or 5 years old and he/she has red under one eye...I was wondering what I should do! Help me please!

Red is not a normal color on a keet. It's always critical to call a vet immediately when you see something out of the ordinary - keets are trained in nature to hide illness until it is impossible to hide the injury. Predators prey on the visibly weak. So it's important for you to call a vet earlier rather than later, and get this looked into. There is no way for me to guess with my magic 8 ball from many miles away what it might be ;)
