Some sort of disease in birds

Some sort of disease in birds

Photos taken over the last couple of weeks in the same proximity on Lamma Island.
All the birds seem to be healthy apart from their bald heads.
Not suggesting is avian flu, but didn't know which forum to post in.
The photo of the red-whiskered is about 2 weeks old........ as of today his head is considerably less bald.
There were about 5 Red-whiskered together with similar problems & they all seem to still be around & ok...... just slightly bald.
The Magpie was with a mate that didn't have the balding problem.

Many other birds in the same area with no problem.

Thanks Amanda.
Just that I had never seen so many is such a small area.


Also apologies for the posting but couldn't get the images to stack on top of one another
