Featherless Cockatoo



Oscar, who is actually a female cockatoo, was given six months to live, but thanks to a diagnosis of a contagious beak-and-feather disease, she was spared... and that was twelve years ago! The near-naked bird with nothing more than a tuft of feathers on her head is enchanting people world-wide as she gives real meaning to beauty comes from within. She can also do a mean Mick Jagger dance too.

There's a family of cardinals near my house with something like that disease. They have feathers everywhere but the head, which means the black skin beneath is exposed. They look beyond creepy.

That's a really sweet story.

And Newscaster Guy with your remark about 'Who's uglier? Oscar or Mick Jagger?', the answer is - you, my friend, you are the ugliest one if all...

Well said Munky :0)

All the mean comments about her looking like a plucked chicken: I see your point, but rather than making me think Oscar's gross, its making me re-think eating chicken...

If that makes you rethink eating chicken, you were never that serious about it in the first place.

The whole Mick Jagger thing seemed a lttle forced.
