Egrets grow their special long feathers, known as aigrettes, during the breeding season. These feathers typically develop from the back and can be seen extending from the bird's neck and back. Egrets use these striking plumes to attract mates, showcasing their beauty during courtship displays. The feathers are most prominent in species like the Great Egret and the Snowy Egret.

When a budgie grows wight long hair?

Budgies, or parakeets, do not grow long hair like mammals; instead, they have feathers that cover their bodies. If a budgie appears to have long or unruly feathers, it may be due to molting, a natural process where they shed old feathers and grow new ones. Additionally, poor diet or health issues can lead to feather abnormalities. Regular grooming and a balanced diet are essential for maintaining a budgie's feather condition.

Many years. They grow to very large sizes. I have never heard of any special research that can specify an age limit for them but to grow to 10 kilos or more I guess they must live a very long time.
