Thanks for reaching out about Dawn and including photos. This appears to be a contusion. Could she have flown into something? Any other animals that could have possible harmed her, other birds or cats? Monitor appetite and activity. If lesion grows or Dawn becomes weak or stops eating, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck
