The photos of a parrot has gone viral after the bird threw a fit out of stress and plucked out all its feathers as its owners maltreated it.
The bird, which has now become popular and now named Javi after being called Hobby by its owners was so stressed it had plucked out nearly all of its feathers.
The unwanted pet arrived at a sanctuary in Kansas, Texas, smelling like stale cigarettes and rotting rubbish, staff said.
"No living being should be someone's hobby," the sanctuary wrote on Facebook.
Birds are known to respond to stressful situations and neglect by over-preening.
Staff have posted regular updates on Javi's progress as she adjusts to her new life - and her first ever bath and fresh fruit.
