*ABOUT THIS FILM*
____________________

Kingfisher feathers
This video follows the process as kingfisher chicks get their feathers. As tiny chicks, kingfishers feathers are protected by a waxy cuticle. Then shortly before these birds fledge these pins drops off to reveal the brilliant blue feathers underneath.

Pin feathers
Kingfishers keep their pins longer than many other birds because these cuticles help keep the chick feathers from becoming clogged by the mess and dirt inside their underground nests.

Kingfisher nest
This kingfisher nest was filmed using cameras hidden inside an artificial nest.
