Meet Oscar the Naked Cockatoo

Oscar has a rare virus that causes her to pull out her feathers because they irritate her. She has survived 12 years so far. And yes, Oscar is a girl. It was a year before Humane Society workers determined through a blood test that what they thought was male, was truly female, and it was too late to change names.

Oscar is a lady cockatoo who's had a hard life, but survived it to find happiness and love. Her life story is like a Hallmark movie for the Internet. LINK, Via: Youtube

Naked Body Art

“This image was based on an illustration. Features, such as eyes, eyebrows, lips and cheekbones, were etched with individual body shapes. In the studio photographer Andreas Smetana recreated the illustration in parts by shooting groups of naked talent as separate pieces of the puzzle.” w/ photos. LINK
