Why did a chicken die it had most feathers gone from its back?
The chicken may have died from picking. This happens when the hens are bored, overcrowded, or have lack of protein in their diet so they result to cannibalism, beginning with feather picking, or plucking the feathers from other chickens. Another reason is from breeding. A rooster may find a "favorite" hen and mate her continually, mounting on her back each time and wearing the feathers out.
Do parrots lose their feathers?
Yes, mature Peacocks do lose some of their feathers. After about age three, they begin cycles of annual molting of their long tail feathers. This usually occurs in summer, around July or August. After each molting, the tail feathers will be longer and have more "eyes". They drop the feathers here and there around the grounds where they roam, making it easy to find and collect them if you are lucky enough to live with them.

This could refer to slowly draining resources, exploiting vulnerabilities, or manipulating a situation for personal gain.
