So I now have a blind Quaker in my house. Polly Parrot is 20 years old and has cataracts in both eyes. She was surrendered to Kayaker's (George) rescue by one of her owners (along with 2 'toos) because one of the two owners is suffering from dementia and was swatting the cages when the birds made too much noise.
If there's anyone out there who has experience with a blind bird, please share. Polly isn't vicious but she's obviously at loss about what happened. She came with a cage which I'll keep her in because she know where the food and water are.
So far, I've changed her perch to one that has a rough surface which is easier for her to hold on to. I've also put a platform perch under it covered with a towel but I'm not sure she'll like it.
