Meet the bald lovebird who wears jumpers to keep warm
When Isabella Eisenmann from Boston saw a social media post about a featherless lovebird named Rhea needing a home, she jumped at the chance.

She instantly fell in love with her bald companion but noticed Rhea would get very cold. That's when Isabella decided to make Rhea a tiny jumper so she could feel just like a normal feathered bird.

Isabella says "when she has a sweater on she feels super cozy and is super calm". Rhea needs those sweaters not only to look good, but also to stay warm, as due to Psittacine, a beak and feather disease Rhea is quite naked. In severe cases this disease can even cause the birds to lose their claws and beaks. Luckily, Rhea has only a mild form of this condition and doesn’t need anything than an annual blood test.
What a cutie!
