Question - Why does it have a tuft of down on its beak? Is it ill? Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:47, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably from preening. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Support assuming that the bird is not ill / unrepresentative of the species. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:18, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
