Can A Macaw Parrot Get Cataracts?
Can you do anything for this?
I have a Catalina macaw she is 30.
Her right eye seems to be not as clear as her left. It’s like a very lite graying.
Sometimes she bumps into things.
Her diet consists of seeds and pellets she also gets prime vitamins in her water

Thanks
Steven

Hi, I live in the UK, just in case that makes a difference, which it probably doesn’t.

I have had budgies, canaries and a cockatiel in the past, all indoor, cage birds.Â
I am looking for a bird somewhere between the size of a parrotlet to smaller than a large parrot-like an African Grey.
