I have a question. Are all birds able to raise a crest even though they normally do not have one? Is it something that they do when they are agitated, angry, or upset? I took a picture of an American Tree Sparrow with a "crest". I have never seen this before with a bird which doesn't have a crest. Maybe it's not called a crest on birds without them.

This made me wonder if it is something all birds can do when so motivated.
