He has a face that only a mother could love.

But sadly for poor Nelson, his didn't.

The parrot chick, who must surely be a contender for the ugliest bird in the world, was rejected by his parents after he hatched.

1. SNNNKKKAWWWWggghhh Yeah. He SHO is UGLY!

Aww poor widdle one. Someone will wuv him surely?

[baldguy]

2. And he'll grow up to be a beautiful swan!

Unfortunately, being a parrot that means he still ain't getting any.

3. That's NOT a parrot!

That's rMoney's yearbook photo.

5. LOL! n/t

[Aerows]

4. Awww

I like Nelson. He looks sweet.

[SoCalDem]

8. He may have had first-time parents who did not recognize him as a baby parrot

[Aerows]

12. I'd take him :)

I've had birds. They are wonderful creatures, and pretty much all of them are ugly at birth, but sweet!!

6. Aw ...... he's cute.

Those cheeks!

[Aerows]

13. He's precious!

His little feather tufts on his head are cute.

[polly7]

18. I laughed when I first saw his feathers, I thought

of Donald Trump's do.

But he is awful sweet, I hope he does well.

28. Oh jesus

You owe me a keyboard - that's exactly what it looks like.

7. He's adorable.

[Aerows]

15. He is :)

[Lionessa]

9. Clearly it has more problems than just looks. Parrots don't have health insurance,

so it's kinder to let it die at birth.

[Aerows]

14. It's a little chick, cher

At least let it live a little while before giving up on it. It's got cute little tufts of feathers.

10. but now the Republican frontrunner for President ...

good thing Mommy & Daddy's money didn't reject him on looks ...

[Booster]

11. Awwww. I hope he grows up to be the prettiest parrot ever.

16. It looks like a scrotum with claws.

But some people like that kind of thing.

[progressoid]

24. And a BEAK!

Time to see the Doctor when discover that in your pants.

[dmr]

17. I can't beleive this was my first thought!

It's a special kind of doo.


I think the little guy's cute, & bet he grows up to be a gorgeous parrot.

[Seedersandleechers]

19. Does the parrot even know he is ugly?

And when he grows up will he know he's handsome?

[SoCalDem]

20. He probably thinks he's just fine,, but apparently he freaked out his parents

[edbermac]

21. Looks like the aliens in Star Trek TOS episode Catspaw

[Kaleva]

22. There are no ugly babies. They are all cute.

[lunatica]

23. I think he's cute as hell

[Plucketeer]

25. We've got four parrots in our home

One of which we raised from the day he hatched. That was because his parents weren't feeding him or his two siblings. But he just celebrated his 21st birthday last month and he's one hell of an important family member here. He slept in bed with us his first five years, but once he matured, he wanted to play at night - and so we had to let him stay in another room so we could sleep

But he and his siblings were ALL homely and helpless until they started to sprout their adult feathers. His real beauty is in his mutual affection for the wife and I.

26. Ooooh...he needs a hug.

[Prometheus Bound]

27. It just needs a shave and some clothes.

And maybe some lipstick.

[saras]

29. It looks like a lemon that rotted its way to life - good thing it isn't six feet tall.

30. And, here I thought that all infants look like Winston Churchill.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. Awwwww

32. Response to original post

In my opinion parrots are the most adorable birds and this should not be happen with anyone.
