Camera flash+budgie's?

Can a camera flash hurt or damage a budgie's eyes?
I was taking pictures of my budgies the other day (not right up in their faces, I was a distance away) and my camera has a flash on it, could this hurt my budgie's at all?
Thanks in advance.
Answers:
Birds have very sensitive eyes. They have much better vision they we once thought they had. Their eyes allow much more light in then our eyes do, so please be very careful when taking pictures of your birds. Try not to use the flash, and use normal day light to take pictures.
Yes you can hurt their eyes.
Good Luck!
it depends on the individual bird if he starts acting funny then take him to the vet
It couldn't damage him but probably would startle him, think of when you get your photo took and the flash goes off, you get like a light display for a couple of second after don't you? Well it would be the same for your bird but probably more frightening since he doesn't know what is happening.
