You ought to talk to Alyce Johnson about Berta.... a ruby macaw. I don't think that Berta is fully blind (maybe she can see shadows?) but regardless she does pretty well with her disability!

You can tell whether or not she can hear by talking to her. If she shows any reaction then she can hear. As far as site, putting her in a light room or near a window and moving your hands past her eyes will tell you if she has any site at all (even if it's just shadows).
Sounds though like she'll probably do fine!
