I will add to Clive's reassurance that she will be fine. It is not certain that onion even affects birds the same way as mammals because birds have nucleated red blood cells. There have been no studies but it is advised to avoid it regardless. One small piece will not cause any harm.
This avian certified vet discusses it briefly here under toxic foods.

She will be fine do not panic.
She would need to eat quite a bit to do any real harm.
Watch her poohs, I doubt you will see any change if as you say she only got a little bit, not pigged out.
Don't worry it is always good that you care so much for her. Give her a head scritch for me.

they will be sick
no onion tomatoe or dairy
NEVER chocololate or AVOCADOE
be more careful - they will eat anything even if it is bad for them
