At first I felt pity. Then, I laughed. Then, I felt guilty for laughing. Then, I felt sorry for it again. That is just. well. weird.

From here:

Bald Molting Birds

For most birds, molting is a process where a few feathers are lost and replaced at a timeĆ¢€”the bird looks a little scruffy, but it always has a covering of feathers. In some species, however, particularly Blue Jays, cardinals, and possibly grackles, a few individuals seem to lose all the feathers on their heads at once, resulting in a very odd looking bird.

Love the mohawk. She wants to start a new trend amongst the birdies. :-)

OMG! I can't stop laughing! Poor thing. Maybe she's just stressed out about the cost of getting a new nest this year?
