Hello. I have an 18 year old Lovebird, Emerald, who has cataracts in both eyes. She is almost blind in her left eye but she can still see out of her right eye although there is a cataract (according to the vet and my own observations.). My question: Birds are very aware of their environment and have a strong survival/safety instinct. So when she goes blind, will she be scared all the time because she can't see? I see on here there are other blind birds. What is your observation with your birds? Am I doing her " wrong" by letting her live even when blind? I guess I'm curious what other people have dealt with on this issue. I appreciate your info and help. Thank you.
PS She is still doing her usual things around the cage. I don't let her out anymore because she flies into the wall.
