Rethinking all those plans to befriend all the crows in the neighborhood
Comment on Molting
MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoI have yet to see this myself and I have a BUNCH of cardinals and Blue Jays.
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?

But the Internet says it’s true, this is molting not mites.
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.

Oops, I wasn’t sure if the missing feathers were real and also thought that’s gotta be mites causing it to lose feathers.
So I just learned that myself and was like “oh wow” and didn’t think too much.

The head is normal molting. The beak damage can be from mite.
