What could have happened to this adult common blackbird male: fight, predator attack or disease? The bird was not shy but looked a little disoriented and kept staring at me for a while before flying away.

Hmm, wonder what could have caused this. Do birds have alopecia?

Might be feather loss caused by mites.

I ignore if birds can have alopecia, but it could be.
As for mites, I didn’t see him close enough to spot if these nasty little bugs were on him!
