👁 Did you know canaries can develop cataracts, just like people?
🐦 They are quite common in this species and can be associated with age, genetics or other diseases. Underlying health problems should always be investigated 🌡.
🏥 Treatment is surgical, such as phacoemulsification, which can also be performed in birds. In very small species it may not be possible, but familiarity with their environment can allow a good quality of life even after substantial sight loss.
