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?

Plumages,Juvenile And Molts: Nestling is undescribed. Juvenile plumage is basically identical to that of the adult female, but young males quickly gain a few red feathers (which are basally white) on the rear crown. Very little published information. The following pertains to populations in central and eastern Colombia (races antioquiae and the nominate); molting females have been trapped in April, September and December, and males in April–July and September–November.
