The chicks, lacking feathers, could easily succumb to the cold if they got wet. The mother bird used her entire body to protect them from the storm. She tucked her head in and sheltered it beneath her soaked feathers.
The cold rain was relentless, yet the warmth of the mother bird was palpable as she tried to keep her chicks dry. Eventually, the storm passed, and before her feathers even dried, the mother flew off in search of food for her young.
