Nope, there's a Cape Robin at the end of my post today Lady Joan.

That is the old Thrush mother and her head has always been bald. The male Thrush has a normal head of hair hahaha.

Blessings!

Oh my, too many wigs now gone bald, she does look strange without a cover of feathers, perhaps a deficiency in food supply when young.

I think her husband is keeping her head clean plucking feathers during mating time Lady Joan.
The Egyptian Goose does the same to Sally when they mate, as he grabs her on the back of her neck.
Difficult to be a woman in nature hahaha.

Blessings!

Appears to just be difficult to be a woman in South Africa.....

Agreed my friend and a sordid and sorry truth indeed!
