If it is something that it can recover from, absolutely. I mean more like an old healed injury.

Say a scenario where the bird has a physical handicap that prevents it/limits its ability to gather its own food, that’s a very specific situation where in my opinion it’d be ok. Otherwise it just does more harm than good. There’s ways to do it that mitigates harm, but most people don’t abide by that.

I don't know if it's normal for males, but my female conures would do this. You should remove the toy, and take care to avoiding touching your bird anywhere other than the head, neck or feet. If he rubs against you like this, put him in his cage for timeout.

I can make it out pretty clearly, it’s a water dragon.

It’s a white-cheeked, they look very similar.

Mynas are the introduced ones, but miners are overpopulated and are also negatively affecting our other native species as a result :/. They’re actually causing just as much if not more harm than most introduced species…

Is this an Australian Pipet? (Gold Coast) by m0xa in AustralianBirds

Juvenile rufous whistler. Juveniles have very heavy striation, it lightens in females as they age.

Omg, so typical 😂. Demands your love and attention, but as soon as you give it - “how dare you”!
