There’s a reason why the cute baby animal pics scene is dominated by mammals like kitties and bunnies, but you don’t see a lot of baby birds. It’s because most of them have some serious awkward phases (with the exception of ducks and chickens… they seem to be blessed with looking cute in their baby pictures.) Where do you think the tale of the Ugly Duckling comes from? Apparently, it takes a while to grow a majestic and functional coat of feathers, and they can look pretty silly in the meantime.

Scroll down to see some impressive bird glow-ups. We bet you didn’t know what at least a few of these birds looked like as babies. Upvote the ones that surprise you the most!

Cardinal

Cardinal

Everyone loves seeing cute, red cardinals outside their window. They're so popular that they have been designated the state bird of seven states in the US: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia.

    Peacock

    Peacock

    Technically, only the males of this species are peacocks, while the females are peahens, and all of them together are peafowl. Also, technically, a group of them is called an "ostentation" or a "pride", but we probably won't remember either of those rules.

    Fun fact: baby peacocks can also do the fanning thing with their tail, but the feathers are usually super small so it's even more adorable.

    Puffins' feet and beaks only turn orange during their spring breeding season. Conveniently for them, that's also the only time when they come ashore, so we only have photos of them looking their best.

    Pigeons are an unusual case because, even if you live in a city and you see more pigeons than you can count every day, you’ve probably never seen one tending to a nest with baby pigeons in it.

    That’s because the feral pigeons that live in cities all over the world are descended from rock doves, which put their nests on steep rock faces, or in caves. Urban pigeons carry on this behavior by nesting on roofs, under windowsills on tall buildings, and anywhere where absolutely nobody without wings can find them. If you hadn't thought about it until now, that's proof that they're good at it.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Pigeons stay safely hidden away until they’re at least 40 days old, and then they come out with a shiny coat of feathers just like their parents. Good for them, it looks like it’s less embarrassing that way.

    Chicken

    Chicken

    It only takes 21 days for a fertilized chicken egg to form a fluffy little chick like this one, but it takes a lot of work. A hen turns the egg over at least 50 times a day so it can remain in the center of the egg and grow normally.

    Most of hummingbirds' functions happen too quickly for humans to even perceive: their wings flap at least 50 times per second, their heart rate is about 20 beats per second, and they can stick out and withdraw their tongues 20 times per second while feeding.

    Golden Pheasant

    Golden Pheasant

    Golden pheasants are native to the forests of China, but they've been imported and formed feral populations on every continent but Antarctica, because everyone wants some golden pheasants, I guess.

    In the Hans Cristian Anderson tale, the egg with the swan inside landed in a ducks nest, and he was considered ugly becuse he so different from the other ducklings when the egg cracked open. He was raised among ducks instead of swans, and became a swan and not a duck.

    Bald eagles don't get the white on their heads until they're two to three years old. Before then, they're brownish/black and occasionally get mistaken for Golden Eagles. Adult bald eagles are a scruffy bunch - not "noble" in the least. They squabble like grannies, have untidy feathers and they'll eat literally anything - and they don't care how long it's been dead.

    This is a very good way of telling if you have been brainwashed. If you believe pigeons are ‘dirty’ or a ‘pest’ and yet if you painted the bird white you’d call it a dove and a sign of peace (ironic) then you have been brainwashed so the government can happily murder pigeons without you causing a fuss. In conclusion; this is how you know you’re stupid.

    A few years back pigeons decided to lay an egg in a window type planter on the floor of my balcony where i had it for the winter - a baby was born in mid January and I was afraid to open the door. Eventually, it grew and got its gorgeous blue feathers and I watched as it fledged and joined its parents in the sky - only they kept coming back having decided they had a new dove cote - sadly, out went the planter.

    Fun fact, these birds will feign a broken wing whenever predators--and humans are too close to their nests in order to lure them away from there.

    Last year, I volunteered at a fenced-off garden in my city that's right next to a river. One "spring clean-up Saturday" while clearing away some brush, I inadvertently got too close to a nest of baby Canadian geese. The mom and dad weren't playing around in scaring me off! Then they saw the rest of the volunteers, and started honking and chasing people. For 5 minutes, it looked like something out of one of those old Mack Sennett "Keystone Kops" silent pictures, with everyone trying not to get the backs of their legs bitten by these big, angry geese! Once we figured out how close was too close to the nest for them and stayed away, finished the rest of our work, and left, the entire family then walked through the garden, and we could see the four adorable chicks.

    These are two different species of kiwi. First one is a brown kiwi and the second 'older one' is a spotted kiwi with it's bill probing in the ground for food. It may be a young Great Spotted kiwi or be an adult Little Spotted kiwi. There are 5 different types of kiwi. :)
