I thought hatchery orps were the American orps....

No they’re different. I mean I guess technically hatchery Orps are American too but they’re comparing show quality to show quality

Ahj, okay. I didn't know there were American orps besides from hatcheries

Yeah, there’s two different styles I’m pretty sure. Maybe more.

Hey, she looks like Blondie and her mama! I'll try to get some pictures that show their mothering superiority

Sadly.
They are clownish,sweet beautiful birds,but very susceptible to feather plucking. They are often victims of impulse buying and unfortunately when the attention changes the they take it to heart and go to town on their chest feathers and it spreads from there. You also see it usually when they're sexually mature and don't have a mate they get pretty bad.
The same attention you give it when you first get it has to continue throughout your life and remember since these birds outlive humans in most cases it's a 24/7 relationship.

Perfect example. This is a Goffin's Cockatoo.
Full of life and personality. This bird either is going through sexual frustration or a major change in routine. Resulting in self plucking.
