This woman was planning on giving away her two parakeets for free, and I noticed the green and yellow one had a runny eye in this picture. I don't know any behavior changes as I've never met the birds in person. But is the health of the green one serious?

Difficult to tell from the picture but 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. 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.
