This painting is a nod to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1798 poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner". If you're wondering what's wrong with the bird, then go read the poem ;) The metaphor of having an albatross about one's neck is also a reference to having a heavy weight on your shoulders, extra psychological baggage that can seem like a curse - perhaps of your own making. Great excuse for a cool painting, too. Original acrylic painting by me, of course!
