My African Grey is blind

[Dipam Patel]

Hello guys,over the last year,both the eyes of my Grey have turned hazey . We noticed he cannot see properly.

Is there anything I can do about this? He doesn't appear to be traumatized. Still just as noisy and knows how to get this food and water

Others may know more, but I'd ask your avian vet.

How old is your bird? Very old birds unfortunately can experience vision loss over time. As Timbersmom has mentioned, I'd have him evaluated by an avian vet if one is available in your area.

He is 35. I am looking for a good Avian vet locally to have him checked out 

[Greytness]

My thoughts are that the findings will be age-related vision loss. Please keep us posted as to what your vet has to say.

Can greys get cataracts? That was my first thought when you mentioned they have turned hazy.

As others have said I think the only way of finding out is to find an avian vet. I sympathise for trying to find a local one. Unfortunately avian care isn't taught as standard for vets- they have to take on additional studies to learn how to treat birds/parrots properly.

Yes they can get cataracts.

I would think cataracts based on my dogs eyes.  An avian vet would be better to give advice.

 

Keep us posted.
