Many of you know our family has rescued and fostered special needs birds in the past, but we have never had a blind one before.
Well tonight I have been offered the chance to adopt a very young green cheek who has no eyes.
I met him when he was a few weeks old and he was of course sweet and adorable. I mentioned to his caretaker that I might possibly be interested in adopting a blind bird in the future, and due to some dramatic changes in their lives, they are considering whether or not keeping him themselves is really HIS best option. I want to be clear that he is currently in good hands and is very loved; this would be an adoption but not a rescue.
Anyway, have any of you ever lived with a blind bird? Anything specific I should be aware of from the get-go? I'm going to spend some time with him this week before making up my mind.
