VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

These birds are juveniles going through their first molt. I'm a rehabber and have seen this time and again. This is the time of year for it. For whatever reasons, they molt their head feathers in bunches, so areas of their heads are bald and then pinfeathered. It only lasts a short time while the new feathers grow in, but they sure are funny looking for a bit!
