No, the feathers on top of a cardinal's head are not called a comb; they are referred to as a crest. The crest is a distinct feature of the cardinal, giving it a unique appearance, especially in males. The term "comb" is more commonly associated with certain birds like chickens, which have a fleshy crest on their heads.

Why would a chicken develop a bald head.?

During an aggressive attack, most chickens will grab the comb or head feathers of the other chicken to pin it down on the ground. Constant bullying will result in loss of feathers around the top head/comb area. These are often short but often attacks and may go unnoticed Also mites/lice can cause scratching which results in loss of feathers. Wire runs can also cause this as the chicken rubs its head against the wire mesh, especially if its pecking on something the opposite side.
