Their eyes can move independently to help them see predators and prey in different directions. Flounders also have strong jaws and sharp teeth for catching and eating prey.

Bristle feathers are specialized feathers found primarily in birds, characterized by their stiff, hair-like structure. They are typically located around the beak, eyes, or other sensitive areas and serve important functions such as sensory perception and protection. Unlike typical contour feathers, bristle feathers lack the interlocking barbules that give feathers their typical flat shape, allowing them to remain more rigid and act as tactile sensors.
Yes, lorikeets do molt, which involves shedding old feathers to make way for new ones. During this process, they may lose feathers around their eyes, although it is not specific to that area. Molting is a natural part of their life cycle and typically occurs annually, helping to maintain their plumage in good condition. If feather loss appears excessive or is accompanied by other symptoms, it may indicate health issues that should be addressed by a veterinarian.

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.
