Help with my Grey's eye

[CarolynY]

About two weeks ago, Chelsea's left eye was swollen and very red, (the white around the eye) there was no cuts or scratches that i could see...I kept an eye on it and within two day redness and swelling was gone. Now Around the white part is almost like a black eye...not dark black but darker than the other eye...should I just watch it or give a call to the vet? It does not seem to bother her. Here is a pic, hope you can see what I am talking about. Thanks

It appears to be bruised, however, I would, if she were mine, take her in for a vet visit just to make sure all is well. Better safe then sorry.
Just make sure it is a board certified avian vet, so they know without a doubt that its ok.

It seems to be better, Not as dark as before. Dr. Harrison said to give it a few weeks to see if works before bringing her back in.
