One of my new Red Faced Parrot Finches lost an eye some time in the past 48 hours. The eyeball appears to be completely gone, with a slight depression around the general area as well. The bird otherwise seems fine and is acting normally. In all my years of finch keeping I have never had this happen. How does it usually happen? Has anyone witnessed it happen?

I feel so bad for it. :cry:

Never had an eye disappear have had eyes swell up. For it to come out guess it would have had to been pulled out by another bird or getting a twig stuck in it. Are you sure that's it still not there.
