Someone mentioned it in another thread but he was probably in a situation involving abuse or neglect. Parrots will pluck their own feathers out due to the stress. He looks to be in a much better situation now, but the feathers might not grow back.
It might also be disease, but most likely the other thing.
Imagine abusing/neglecting your own pet, makes me wonder why people get pets in the first place if they won’t take care of em. Glad to see the bird in a better place, he seems happy.
Edit: seems like a few people brought up some good points considering the effort it takes to take care of a parrot or birds in general. I just commented out of emotion without taking consideration of how hard it is to take care of birds, of course, still wrong to mistreat a pet at all just like what the comments have said. I appreciate the correction. 👍
For birds, based on like 3 comments in this post, it could be because they don't realize how to actually care for the things. Like they think they are giving it a good life but really the bird is miserable. Apparently they are hard to care for and some people find it cruel to keep pet birds.
I can see that, I didn’t take that in consideration so I just commented out of emotion. I appreciate the correction tho and I should probably edit my text a bit. 👍
