The Striolated Manakin Is The Roundest And The Sweetest Bird That You Will Ever Meet (10 Photos)

Sometimes, there's a little confusion when categorizing the animals in relation to their ages and the changes that take place in their bodies while growing old. For example, just think of a Striolated Manakin (Machaeropterus striolatus) that will make us confused when it starts developing. So, at which age does the orb-like appearance of a bird merit a change in its name?

Male is olive above, with red cap and nape; secondaries stiffened and enlarged, with white tips; tail also stiffened, with thick rachi; throat whitish; rest of underparts reddish-chestnut, redder on chest side, with whitish shaft-streaks. Female lacks red on head, is entirely olive above, dingy whitish below, breast and sides pale olive with fine whitish streaks, breast side tinged brownish.
