This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Could it be leucistic? How can you tell that from vitiligo?

I mean, it could be. You can’t really tell one apart from the other unless you see the progression over time. Leucistic would be born this way, while vitiligo would slowly lose pigment over time.

A flock of crows is called a murder

Congrats on spotting this! I bet most people mistake it for a pigeon.

Thought it was, even after reading the title

If you see any with white spots, it's often just because of a bad diet. If they hang around humans and eat only crap like fastfood leftovers, they don't get all the nutrition they need and that can affect feather development, causing the white spots. That is pretty extensive coloring though, so it definitely could be vitiligo or something else

But birds are less real, especially pigeons and emus.

If emus aren't real, then who/what defeated Australia in that war?
