Hi, I'm new here. I've been a bird owner all my life, but have avoided forums because I don't like the attitude that if you can't afford the absolute ideal of everything for your pet, you shouldn't have a pet, and I kept running into people like that. This one seems like it might be different.
I currently have a whiteface cockatiel who is ten years old, and a peach-faced lovebird who is sixteen, both male as far as I know (vet evaluated them, but no dna testing). The lovebird has cataracts and does not see very well anymore. I haven't been able to locate an avian vet I trust and can get to without a car since I moved to Brooklyn, so I'll be looking for any threads about birds and blindness/cataracts. My previous cockatiel lived to be 27, and so I either have a lot of experience with birds because I've had birds for so much of my life, or very little, because I've had relatively few birds because they live so long.
Here's an old picture of my two current pals:
