Some chicks are born ready for independent life: they walk confidently, themselves get their own food and are very similar to their parents. Well, there are babies, most often these are birds of prey who are not at all like their parents. They are so different that people far from ornithology can not always say who will grow out of a helpless fluffy lump. We have selected for you the 10 most interesting reincarnations from the world of birds and offer a look at a pair of chicks and their parents, in which it is difficult to recognize relatives.

1 Albatross

 

A wandering albatross nestling of a nondescript gray color, very furry and clumsy, but at the same time quite cute.

 

This helpless creature does not resemble its graceful parents, who conquer the seas and oceans. Of course, over time, he will become just as beautiful, but for now he is just a cute chick.

 

2 Bald eagle

This majestic bird of prey, when born, looks completely harmless.

 

 

The curved beak, of course, gives out in tiny creatures, future predators, but in them there is no visible shape of the future eagle.

 

3 Turkey

Adult birds have a very original appearance. But their chicks do not look so clear.

 

 

Would you recognize turkey in these crumbs?

 

 

 

 

4 Cassowary

The inhabitants of Australia and New Guinea also have a very bright appearance, especially males.

 

 

But this is typical only for adult birds, and young cassowary wear a modest gray-beige camouflage to avoid meeting with predators.

5 Cockatoo

Adult cockatoos are juicy colors and excellent plumage. Birds are a true embodiment of brightness and beauty among birds.

 

 

 

But cockatoo chicks can scare anyone: it is possible that nature specially created them so as to protect helpless creatures from the attacks of predators.

6 King penguin

There is a real abyss between parents and chicks of this species.

 

 

Covered with thick brown fur, they are clumsy and devoid of the royal grace that their parents possess.

7 Toucan

Another story about the ugly duckling is the story of becoming a toucan.

 

 

 

Looking at the toucan chick, it is hard to believe that from this awkward lump with feathers and a strange beak a bird of amazing beauty will grow, one of the most beautiful on the planet.

8 Dead end

The dead end chicks are completely black in color and lack a characteristic bright beak.

 

 

This is completely inconsistent with the appearance of an adult bird, so when you see a mother who has flown to feed the chick, it seems that she was mistaken in the nest.

 

 

 

9 Peacock

Peacock males are owners of a bright recognizable appearance, but their children, on the contrary, are completely devoid of personality and color.

 

 

 

 

10 Flamingo

Another amazing example is a flamingo chick and his parents.

 

 

Looking at the flamingo chick, you can experience a slight disappointment: there is no hint of beauty and grace, and instead of the magnificent plumage of all shades of pink, the creature is covered with a plain gray fluff. But do not rush to conclusions, in just a few months this baby will turn into one of the most beautiful birds on the planet.
