I am sorry but the picture is very blurry. It does appear that Sky has discharge around the eyes and beak. birds can get infections of the upper respiratory system and sinus cavity. I know it is not close but I would recommend getting her to a vet. If she does have an infection she need antibiotics and unfortunately you cannot get them over the counter. In the mean time I would try and keep her stress level down and monitor her closely for eating and drinking. Hope sky feels better soon
