Here’s How 30 Baby Birds Look Compared To Their Adult Versions
Most of us have probably seen baby chickens or ducks before but what about other baby birds? We’re used to them just sort of being there in their adult form without really giving too much thought about how their babies look. And maybe there’s a reason for that.
Turns out baby birds look almost nothing like their adult versions. Quite the opposite, in fact – until they fully grow out their feathers, they look like shabby, oddly proportioned “ugly ducklings” that you couldn’t even tell are related to the adult birds. Luckily, that phase passes rather quickly and soon enough we get blessed with the majestic grown-up birds we know so well. Check out the amazing bird glow-ups in the gallery below!
