Quail with loss of vision?

[cherrynberry]

This quail has never eaten a mealworm that I have fed and seem to be the only one. She tries to peck it, but misses.

Here is what she does:

Hmm, My EE brazil nut does the same thing sometimes, and she is very farsighted. so I would assume you cute quail has the same case and can't really see up close.

How do her eyes look up close? Is there any cloudiness to her pupils?

It seems perfectly fine on both sides...super clear and I could even see the pupal clearly

But she does it ALL the time!?

Does she have the ability to eat well?

Yes she can eat out of our large feeder just fine but has a hard time picking up treats.
