I have two fantail pigeons, and this white sort of dappled one is usually terrified of people but as of today he seems out of it. He usually runs to the other end of the cage when I'm anywhere nearby, but today I can pet and hold him with absolutely no fight. I even flick my fingers around in front of his eyes and get next to zero reaction. I don't know if I can rule out sudden blindness, as I'm still new to owning pigeons. His weight is a little down but his appetite is up and he ate and drank earlier before I went to work, so his eyesight seemed just fine at that point. Plus if it were blindness, wouldn't he still have sudden negative reactions towards being touched by nothingness? He's normally a very skittish bird.
I took video of how he's acting for a better idea of how this looks.
