Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 179

Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest Round 179

For this round I want to show me your photo/s of Extraordinary bird/s. How to define extraordinary is again up to you. It could be a rare bird, you saw for the first time. Or, the behavior that made the bird or birds . Or, it could be anything that make you think is out of ordinary.

My example photos are of a magpie, who has less or no feathers around the neck and that made the bird extraordinary for me. What is the reason, I don't know, but it is something rare.

Probably, this magpie is sick with something or ticks have bitten all the feathers on her neck.

That poor magpie looks like it might have been trapped behind chicken wire and kept poking its head through the holes, hoping to get out.

I've seen that "look" many years ago on my uncle's farm where he'd use live bird traps to capture pigeons and sometimes magpies would get in them by mistake.

It might be. I am not sure, but seems a young bird and without experience, easy to be trapped like that.

Poor little Magpie possibly pecking order in family or deficiency in diet having no feathers around the neck.

Unusual trait to witness in a wild bird feeding for itself.

I can speculate what could be the reason, but hubby saw today other magpies, same as this one with missing feathers.
