Hello,
I have a pet Linnie named Nico. He is 2 years old and turquoise in coloration. I cut up and feed him fruits and veggies when I wake up and then put seed in at 3pm (Is this good?). Currently he is on the thin side because I just moved and haven't had the chance to go to the store with the virus going on to get him different types of food, which is causing him to eat less fresh food and wait until he gets his seed. If I put the seed in at the same time as the rest of his food I doubt he would eat anything but it. Currently, I am feeding him a mix of apples, blueberries, spinach, and carrots (and he also doesn't like cucumber and celery), but will give him various other things as soon as I go to the store. I have one main concern with him which is that his pupils are partially white/grey. Could this be a sign of partial blindness? He can see my finger and fluffs up when I go to scratch him. He also can fly across rooms and used to fly from his cage up to the top of my bunk bed to cuddle in the blankets. He even got defensive when my sister was picking out a conure and flew across the room to attack them. Even though he is not blind right now, could his sight get worse? Or is this some other kind of disease? Also I have heard that Linnies are unlike most other birds and I can say from experience that that is true. My bird loves to cuddle and gets easily scared of things he hasn't seen before. He even has a set bed time at night where he will start biting and get grumpy to get me to take him back to his cage. Anyways, I just wanted to post this to ask anyone else that has owned a Linnie if I am doing a good job and to see if anything is out of the ordinary. Pictures will be attached and not all of them are recent. Picture of him with the apple and the red den is the earliest one which I'm pretty sure was taken on the day I got him.
