Hello Faith,

You can use saline solution (preservative-free) to rinse your bird's eye several times a day. If the problem is that soap got in the eye, that should take care of it within a couple of days. If the eye doesn't improve quickly, you'll need to take your bird to an avian vet. This link will take you to a directory of vets:
