Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Somebody get some Rogane for the roseate spoonbills! As members of both sexes get older, they begin to lose feathers on the tops of their heads in the same way male humans begin to bald. This is a perfectly natural part of the aging process, and for Platalea ajaja can indicate sexual maturity and health.
