    Half Blind robin baby. *More pics*

    Today I found this little Guy/girl woundering around the streets and people just staring and saying how cute it is well I didnt do that I picked this robin baby up to see why it was on the ground.Well it seems one eyes is blind becase when I shake my hand on that side it does not react but on the other it does and also its white In the middle.

    I took it home and fed him/her some yummy food and after that it explored.



    The blind eye.

    What are you going to do with it? With one blind eye I can see it succombing to predation very easily.

    Im not shur It can not be released with that eye because it wont be able to fly properly so I may call the wilflife centre and ask what they think but if the eye was fine I would release the robin later on like I do with most baby birds.

    I may end up keeping this robin dont want anything bad to happen to it.

    S/he won't be able to see worms with one side either. Robins don't find food by hearing, they tilt their heads to see with their eyes- which are on the sides of their head.

    It sorta looks from the picture like it has a cataract in that eye? Or at least one of my rats that had cataracts, when you took a pic of him, his eye had that grey looking area in his eye.
