Hello,
I adopted an African Grey last Saturday, I will have had her a week tomorrow. She is eating great, lots of pellets and starting to eat the fruits and veggies I give her as well, at her previous home she didn't get very much of those. She stepped up on my hand last night and allows me to pick her up and pet her.
I am concerned that she is blind though, the previous owner said she was 10 and had her since a chic. I just called her and she said she never saw any of the symptoms that I am seeing. She doesn't appear to see my hand and all and jumps a little every time I touch her. She also does not follow my finger if I move it in front of her face or blink her eyes if I get close to them. The exotic vet in my area can not see her until Wednesday of next week.
Does anyone have any experience with blindness in parrots or know what might have caused it?
