minus-squareMeatPilot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·edit-22 个月前I have yet to see this myself and I have a BUNCH of cardinals and blue jays. I do see the young “punk rocker” cardinals. But the Internet says it’s true, this is molting not mites. The only dark horror I witnessed was when a murder of crows came into the neighborhood and used my bird bath for their dark rituals for 2 weeks. Maybe I didn’t see this kind of cardinal because they didn’t complete the rites to summon it?

The person you responded to was referring to why his beak looked weird, not to the lack of feathers on his head. But I didn’t see anything in the article you posted about beaks.
