Hi, my 12 month old cockatiel is squinting and seems to keep dozing off constantly. I got him a week ago from a pet store who said some one donated him.

That is likely to be due to a mild to moderate conjunctivitis, probably secondary to a trauma or infection. A check up would be needed as appropriate treatment would include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory eye drops. Corneal injuries must be ruled out as well. Differential diagnosis must include upper respiratory tract inflammation/infections. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
