Question
Hi,
I forgot to mention in my last question that other than my roller pigeons eyes (the color of them), they seem normal both in their appearance and behavior.
They have no visible wounds, lesions, or excresions. And their appetite, water intake, flying habits, and bathing habits all seem to be normal as well.
It's just that the color of their eyes have changed from blue/orange (females/males) to white.

Answer
Hi Debora

I've never known my pigeon's eyes to turn white. That is very weird. I really don't know why they changed colours. Baby pigeon's eyes change colours from black as babies to orange or blue or green as adults, but that's normal. Huh. I really don't know. All I can say is that if they appear and act normal then they probably are. It could be an environmental factor such as stress or temperature, or maybe they have some sort of internal disease. Probably not, though, if they seem normal. I would suggest keeping an eye on them for a while to see how they behave and if the colour changes back. And can you please respond back if anything does happen, as I'd really like to know. Wow. Your question really stumped me. I've never heard of that before. Sorry I didn't know but man, that's really weird! Hope I sorta helped (though I didn't really) and I hope your pigeons stay normal.
