Question
Hi, I just got an albino budgie and I was wondering, can they see good with those red eyes? Do they see everything we do? and clearly?

Thanks,
Meg

Answer
Hi, Meg.  Thanks for posting!

The albino parrots I've had/seen seem to see very well with their red eyes.  They see everything albino budgies are supposed to see and clearly as far as I know.  Actually, they probably see things we can't because a parrot's vision is superior to ours.

Expertise

I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.

Experience

Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.

Education/Credentials
American Federation of Aviculture, completed Level I course, Fundamentals of Aviculture. Keeping/breeding parrots and other birds for over 20 years.
