Blind bird?

Question

I think my budgie may be blind [except for possibly blurry shapes]. She is completley yellow, and has red eyes [albino?] She has run into many things including my closet door, my white closet door, yet she hasn't flown anywhere near a mirror or window. Might she be blind, or am I just parinoid?

Answer 1

Yellow budgies are called Lutino

Albinos are White

Cut her flight feathers so she can't fly in to things

I think my budgie (My id picture) is blind in one eye he's only 2yrs old. He's out all the time. Flight feather cut, he walks everywhere with me around the house

Answer 2

Budgies who are yellow with red eyes are commonly known as lutinos (just in case your interested).
Has your lutino recently had it's wings clipped? A bird who is not used to having it's flight feathers trimmed may not be able to controll it's flight.

However,I know very little about blind birds-maybe that is the case. I've looked on the internet but haven't found anything.

I did find this quote,but it doesn't really answer your question:


"2.Are Albinos and Lutinos blind?
It's a myth that the Albinos and Lutinos (all white and all yellow, both with red eyes) are blind or suffer from extremely diminished vision. I've kept both in walk in walk-in cages with lots of other Keets. "-http://www.upatsix.com/faq/budgie.htm

Sorry that I can't help more!

Answer 3

I think it is crazy. Or she was like that after an incident. Ask a vet. The vet will see what is totally wrong with your budgie.

Answer 4

maybe she hasnt ben out very much and doesnt noe how to fly yet so let her out more often and if it continues take her to the vet

Answer 5

take her to the vet asap and get her checked out to see if she is blind.

Answer 6

put the bird in front of a mirror an see what she does .
