I came up with this because before we realized that Pico was blind, we bought him an enclosed type of happy hut and he wouldn't go in it. Since he often sleeps in the corner of his cage, I wanted to give him something that I could put there, that he can snuggle with...I knew that something like this exists, but could not remember what it was called and wanted to give him something right then.
This took me about three minutes to make.

 Photos of the project coming.... To make a quick, easy and inexpensive "birdy buddy", "cozy corner", or whatever you want to call it.... Buy a remnant of fleece or other fuzzy material at the fabric store, or recycle an old (clean!) sweater or sweatshirt. Fold into a triangle. Using a seam ripper, cut two small holes in the top of the triangle. Thread a piece of ribbon through the holes, fold to form a "cave" shape, and attach to the cage. |

I felt bad; I was rubbing his beak and letting him nibble on my finger. He started making sounds like he was frustrated and I realized that he was mad because he thought my finger was food, and was upset when he couldn't eat it. LOL

Hi easttex, I know that I don't deserve it, I was REALLY stressed and had to vent. I'm much better now.  The vet didn't take x-rays or anything, so we'll treat him as if he is handicapped. It will be okay. |

No, not definitely. She said it's hard to do eye exams on birds because they're so small.
But it would explain A LOT.

The vet did not see any sign of disease, and does not think it's a vitamin deficiency. She thinks he has a neurologic problem that he was born with, or that was the result of flying into a wall. I felt horrible when she said that, but she was quick to assure me that I shouldn't feel bad because she couldn't have done anything to prevent it/help him even if I had brought him in.

I'm so sorry about my "temper tantrum", everyone. I have a lot going on, and am stressed out.
