“For most of us, having a small bird making a racket in the garden is nothing new. But when April Britt heard a commotion in her backyard, she decided to investigate. And what she found left her completely taken aback. Perched on a branch was a baby female Cardinal with two heads and three beaks. Speaking to ABC40, Mrs Britt, from Northampton, Massachusetts, said: ‘My husband says ‘Oh my God. Look at this poor thing! That’s an oddity if I ever saw one… The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said the chances of the bird surviving are ‘very slim’. After viewing these pictures, Valerie Osborne, from the charity, said: ‘It is very, very rare to find a bird like this. I have seen only one other similar case to this in the past 30 years.” w/ photos
