Oscar The Naked Dancing Cockatoo

Oscar is a Cockatoo with a rare and often fatal disease (Beak and Feather Disease). She doesn't have any feathers and always draws a crowd

She was taken in by the Broward County Humane Society and is their unofficial mascot.

She was sick, they said, and probably had about six months to live. That was 12 years ago

Cockatoos are beautiful. Most o

People cannot deal with their love, their devotion and their trust. Few humans ever measure up to their standards of decency. Oscar, you are beauty beyond understanding.

I love this video. I love birds. I think it's so cute when she dances.

Honestly, the strangest thing to me about the whole thing is...why is she named "Oscar"?

I also don't think she's ugly. I think she's adorable.

And hello! The bird was trying to shake your hand! You should shake back! How rude! Rawr!

I actually can't stand that breed of bird since my mother has one. but I think I would Put up with Oscar cause she' would totally be worth it.
