Could someone knit me a scarf please?

Spotted this cockatoo in our Botanical Gardens. Certainly looks a bit troubled by the lack of feathers around his head but he was able to fly though :)

[Sam]

Awww that's a bit sad! Hope he is ok :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aawww !!! what a scrawny neck !! he must be hen pecked !!

[Poppo Livy]

We often get cockies in the back yard that look like this. Just hope they disappear and don't come back

[Jennifer]

aww, poor thing, hope it's ok

[sally agnew]

Poor fellow, I wonder if he is very old :)

[Lou Ann]

Oh dear. I feel bad for him. Surely he's old and that's why his feathers are thinning. Lord knows, my hair is sure not as thick as it used to be. Smile.

[Babs]

Oh dear, he doesn't look well. I think his problem is caused by a virus possibly Psittacine beak and feather disease

[gloria jones]

Great shot...He does need some tlc.

[Merrelyn]

Poor fellow, he doesn't look well :(

[Lynne]

wonderful

[Lynda McG]

Ah, hope he's ok! Great title

[Diana]

😂 His neck does look rather bare! Fabulous caption and shot

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, he's very bedraggled looking!

[Bep]

He doesn't look very well.
Love your title.

[carol white]

He does look rather sorry for himself. Perhaps he has a skin infection

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Tony]

Nicely captured, not the prettiest specimen.

[Islandgirl]

Oh my he looks ill!

[Debra]

Wow, his neck does look a bit strange...hope he's okay. Nice capture

[Rachel]

Crikey! He doesn't look 100%!

[Rick]

Nice capture. Yeah, looks like a scarf might come in real handy for this fellow.

[Ron]

Maybe he belongs to that cockatoo feather head cult. I was at a vet a few months ago and they had one who had no feathers at all - he would pluck them all out with his beak. Not sure how one would do that in your case here, though. Hope he gets better.

[Gayle]

Poor thing. Does look like he has seen better days. :-(

[Debbie]

Oh dear.... poor thing.

[Sue Cooper]

Great capture. Love the title. Poor old thing.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yikes- looks like he could be on the bottom of the pecking order.

Poor little fella. My sister has a sulpher crested cocktoo, who tell everyone "whose a pretty boy". I hope this fella is just moulting.
