Anatomy Brisbane Cockatoo Cockatoos Head Study Moult Parrot Parrots Queensland Suburban Sulphur Crested Ugly Chicks
Bad Hair Day? This young Aussie Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is having a feather-raising experience!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by photographer Eric Lindgren, we witness the awkward phase of avian adolescence. Our feathery friend from down under is going through a major transformation as it molts into its adult plumage. And let's just say, it's not the most glamorous process! With pin feathers sprouting all over its head, this cockatoo looks like it just stepped out of a wild and wacky hairstyle salon. Its fluffy white crest seems to have taken on a life of its own, defying gravity in every direction. Move over punk rockers – there's a new fashion icon in town! Despite its temporary "ugly duckling" appearance, this little chick is brimming with charm and personality. With those big round eyes and comical expression, you can't help but fall in love with its adorable face. Living in the suburban outskirts of Brisbane, Queensland, our feathered friend adds some tropical flair to the Australian landscape. It serves as a reminder that nature always has surprises up her sleeve – even within our own backyards. So next time you're having a bad hair day or feeling self-conscious about your appearance, take inspiration from this brave little cockatoo who embraces change with style (even if it means looking temporarily goofy). After all, beauty comes in many forms – including pin feathers!
