Question
I have a blind albino is there a way to kind of help him see? My bird also keeps on hitting himself in the cage for no reason, last time he hurt himself really badly on his wing what do I do?

Answer
Hi, Claudia.  Thanks for posting!

If your bird is blind, there is nothing that can be done to help the bird see.  Blind means unable to see.  Your bird is probably hurting himself in the cage because of its blindness.  You need to customize the cage to fit the needs of this bird.
