Answer
Hello Leisha and thank you for your post.
It could be an infection or it could be an injury to the eye.  In either case, your friend should be seen by a Certified Avian or Exotic Animal Vet right away.  If it is an infection, it can become systemic and spread very quickly, which can be fatal.  Please do not hesitate getting her in to be seen.

Good luck and God Bless.
