He's so lucky to have you! What a beautiful bird, and it's great to see you take such good care of him. How did he become blind? Does that have something to do with your userID?
I was lucky to find him, some guy wanted to get rid of him and had him advertised for $200 in a free ad, which normally would mean that he's in bad shape (either a plucker, biter or ... worse). When we got there we couldn't believe what we saw, and he came home with me. I wrote a poem about the experience
here if you want to read it...it's a bit long.
He got an eye injury a couple years ago, and the trauma and stressed caused cataracts to develop in that eye, and eventually it compounded and he got them in the other eye. He can see movement and light/shadows, but if I hold food out for him he has to feel around for it because he doesn't see it. He's my "Blind Cockatoo"...Blind 'Too for short!
Here's a feeding ritual that sort of developed with us, posted on
YouTube. For some reason, once he lost his sight he started waiting for me to hand him the first piece of food. He actually sits there and peeps until I hand him something. I don't know how it started, but he expects it now!
