did you try warm water?
i would try that on a paper towel or cotton swab to see if it helped clean whatever gunk is on there.

Yes I did but they just get crunchie and seal back up they don't smell so not sure what it is I'm hoping someone does on here

I would try Terramycin ointment if the warm water isn't working. You can buy it at most feed stores/TSC. Should run you between $12-$15/tube, but it's worth the price and a little goes a long way! http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/product.asp?CID=0&pf_id=229 <----What it looks like

Are the birds sneezing? Any swelling around the eyes or neck? Any other symptoms?

It is likely that they may have a respiratory issue if it's more than one bird with the problem. If it is a respiratory issue, it will likely require antibiotics. You can search the board for "respiratory issues" or something similar and should be able to get lots of great info!

If it's just one bird, it could still be a respiratory issue, but it could also just be an injury, or dust in the eye. If you post the other symptoms (if any) and a picture, you will probably get a lot more knowledgeable response than I can give. Good luck!
