Dec 11, 2009: Bald cockatoo

Following on the bald emo is this bald parrot from Ft. Lauderdale, who apparently suffers from something called "beacon feather" - she plucks her own feathers out because they irritate her.

Her name is "Oscar" and she is a fixture at the Broward County Humane Society.

(Humans sometimes suffer a similar problem called Trichotillomania - an obsessive-compulsive disorder in which a person pulls out their own hair.)
