Ronnie_Powell Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Has anyone every experienced Blindness in their Birds? A friend of mine has two hen pigeons that appear to have developed blindness in one eye and are losing weight. They began by closing the eye and he assumed that they had either been in battle or had debris in the eye. It has now been two days since he first noticed the closing of the eye and has rang me tonight to say that the iris of the eye appears to have lost colour and is clear as water. He suspects the eye is blind. Any ideas before he consults a vet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
