MOH spotted this young rosella in his backyard. Looks like the butcher birds had a go at it? Anyway, it seems to be OK now and feeding well.
It is also possible that members of its own flock attacked it.
I used to breed budgies and this would happen sometimes.

Yes, I guess anything could have happened. Just glad it survived. It doesn't look like a fresh wound.
Check out the eye on that pigeon!

Just adding another pic.
It does look a little worse for wear, and the Pigeon looks like it just saw a ghost!
Nice Karen Good to see they are enjoying a feed .
See it! Hear it!

Hehe, that is some look on the pigeon's face for sure.
Bird hungry, bird want corn. I used to know a bird that said that but long ago can't remember if it was a cockatoo or a galah.
They are just gorgeous those two together. I almost said , the hair on the bird's head will grow back. Can't see any damage to the eye, it'll turn into a beautiful bird. Love the photos.
