My young lovebird has a swollen eye. Is it an infection or trauma?

Question

I bought a black mask lovebird a few days back, it's a young lovebird. Two days ago I found some kind of swelling above one of its eye (shown in the picture). The lovebird is normal and active, but I'm worried that is it some kind of infection? or is it normal before developing a complete white circle around the eye. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male

The pictures are pretty good. Doremon seems to have a lesion over the right eye, but also near the left nostril and cere. It appears to be a trauma. Not sure if he could have fallen off the perch or injured himself otherwise. If he is still eating and active, i think you have time to monitor the situation. You might want to contact the seller to let them know. If the lesion continues to progress or Doremon stops eating or becomes lethargic, I would seek input from an avian veterinarian.
