Plumage

Okay, so imagine you are a bird and you have feathers all over your body. These feathers are called plumage. Like when you wear a dress or a shirt, plumage helps to keep birds warm and also makes them look nice and pretty.

The colors of plumage are really important too. Some birds have bright and beautiful colors like red, blue, and green. This is because they want to attract other birds or even their "crush" bird.

And sometimes, plumage can change depending on the season or if a bird is feeling sick. During the winter, some birds will grow extra feathers to keep them extra warm.

So, in short, plumage is the feathers that birds have all over their body. It keeps them warm and makes them look pretty, and can also change colors depending on the season or a bird's mood.
