Summary:
The thick down of nestlings, covering even most of the face and beak, offers excellent protection against wind, rain, cold and even heat, as well as camouflage. Feather type and colour changes, even as nestlings and juveniles, are made possible by staggered moulting. This is unusual and in this regard tawny frogmouths are rather exceptional.
