A month ago, I thought I noticed Maui's eye very slightly cloudy, but then I turned on more lights and it was really difficult to tell.
Yesterday though, in the evening when the lights were low, for sure, one of Maui's eyes is getting a bit cloudy. It is visible in the day time, but a lot harder to see. I think it is a cataract. It doesn't seem to be affecting her at all in any other way. She's quite happy and still doing her own thing all the time. I saw that there are cataract surgeries, but the last vet said she probably wouldn't survive a procedure. I think I'll just keep monitoring it for now.
Maui's definitely getting older and older. She can't perch anymore at night time to sleep. She sleeps on the bottom of the cage, laying on her body. She does perch during the day, but doesn't have the strength to sleep while perching, so even if she naps, she goes to the bottom of the cage to do so. She still eats just fine and talks as much as ever.
