Have you ever wondered how many feathers cover a bird? That really depends on what kind of bird. Hummingbirds, which are very small, have about 940 feathers. By contrast, over 25,000 feathers cover a swan. Feathers serve the same purpose as mittens, hats, heavy coats: they help the birds stay warm. Many newborn birds, such as robins, are born bald. They have to stay in their nest to keep warm until their feathers develop. Other baby birds, like ducklings, are born with a soft coat of fluffy down. They are ready to run, swim, and follow their mothers around the lake. How does the author try to get the readers attention?
