Ear infections are not common in birds so what you are describing is a little concerning. I would recommend taking Tory in to be examined by a veterinarian so an accurate diagnosis can be made. She may need an antibiotic to help her get over the infection. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
