The altricial issue: every list of “adorable baby animal photos” that includes a bird will inevitably get it wrong in one of three ways:
- by labeling the offspring of a less familiar precocial species as a familiar one (rail for raven/crow)
- by labeling a very small adult of another species as the offspring of a more familiar species (falconets or pygmy falcons for peregrine falcons)
- by mistaking a realistic stuffed or felted animal for a real bird (owls)
And this is because scrawny blind naked altricial baby birds just don’t have the immediate cuteness factor of baby mammals.
“altricial baby birds just don’t have the immediate cuteness factor of baby mammals”
