A pigeon is a medium to large bird with grey feathers that is often seen in towns. Pigeons roost on building ledges and wherever else they can find a level spot high up to roost.
A bird with a long tail and shiny black feathers;a type of blackbird.The common grackle can often be seen in city parks.
It is on the wing of the bird. To look at it on a chick just starting to grow feathers, gently hold the chick in one hand and spread the wing out. Take note if the tips of the feathers are even or jagged. That is referred to as "the feather line" On an adult bird it is more easily seen but harder to control the bird.
I can't be completely sure because I haven't seen your bird. But, if your cockatiel is losing feathers on his body, he is probably plucking them out himself out of stress or depression. If he is losing feathers on his head, then another bird is probably preening him too aggressively. Either way, if it doesn't stop soon, I suggest you check with your vet on how to help him. :)
sounds like a goldfinch
This would depend upon the zoo, but I think for the most part the answer is no. Most zoos that I have seen either keep their bird displays indoors or they have a large overhead net to keep the birds from flying out. Clipping a bird's feathers prevents him from flying, which is not healthful to the bird. For pet birds, this can be tolerated if needed because they don't need to fly much anyway, but even then it's still better to let them have their feathers and be able to fly.
The parrot is a bird. All birds have feathers, although sometimes the type of feather varies.
The answer is yes. I own 12 acres of land and have seen a large black bird on my land. He drives me nuts. Because a Raven is a omnivore and I have a mother hen, who hatched chicks that can be snatched up. But, I do not want to take the chicks away from her and cage her, because of that darn raven.
