Lovebirds are small birds with very lively and colorful feathers, similar to parrots, as they are in the same family. They make great pets too because they aren’t high maintenance. This one is a bit of a different story, however.
Isabella Eisenmann of Boston saw a social media post about Rhea, a featherless lovebird. She needed a new home and without a second thought, Eisenmann took her in. Rhea is suffering from a beak and feather disease known as Psittacine. Luckily for her, her condition is considered only mild, but it has still left her naked. People are now sending custom-made sweaters to Eisenmann for Rhea in order to keep her warm.

Soon, Rhea the naked bird had more than 100,000 followers.
