Hi One of my outstanding theories by this I mean unsolved , they cannot all have perfect vision and some are born with very poor vision Have many examples over the years with birds with poor eyesight and wires around you loft can often tell you which ones they are even this year admittedly from a brother and sister mating one of the y/bs was blind in one eye its nest mate is for the moment ok Did you know that BOP have vision 8 times superior to humans Cheers Homer 49
