    But the Internet says it’s true, this is molting not mites.

    The person you responded to was referring to why his beak looked weird, not to the lack of feathers on his head. But I didn’t see anything in the article you posted about beaks.

      Oops, I wasn’t sure if the missing feathers were real and also thought that’s gotta be mites causing it to lose feathers.

      So I just learned that myself and was like “oh wow” and didn’t think too much.
