Can someone help solve this,a few species of bird are showing on my local patch with the same head problem.
D3S said:Moulting indeed - any pristine birds around at the mo are non-breeders and juveniles; it's why things tend to quieten down July/August as the adults recover from raising young.
You may see larger birds (doves/pigeons) with feathers missing around the head as a result of a failed Sparrowhawk attack though!
@ "Ploddles" - comments like yours make me sad - wrong on so many levels. :|
But yes, very mature and friendly ""! If you think the bird is moulting, fine, that's your opinion. If YOU had done YOUR homework you'd know that all birds go through an annual moult but you don't see them flying around with bald heads like this. It's almost always blue tits that are affected by stress like this during the breeding season. Year after year I get these blue tits in my garden while raising young. But if you don't believe it, that's fine.
What isn't fine is your attitude towards me.
If a 'bird lover' calls birds 'flying rats' that should be killed and I disagree because I love birds and feel that's wrong, I'm not sure what's that got to do with YOU, or 'doing one's homework' or why you need to insult me. But nice talking to you, 'mate'. :thumbsdown:
No idea what you're talking about. "Sound" advice - that's your interpretation as you are ignoring views other than your own that are based on facts. How do you explain blue tits like that in early June while feeding young? And you obviously didn't even read the comment I was referring to!!
I've 3 kids (soon to be 4) and my head is getting a bit bald.

What is so wrong about sparrowhawks eating pigeons. They do it all the time, it's called nature.
Ok then if you seem to now what causes this so called problem with blue tits then why did you ask the question on the forum in the fisrt place?
