White herons have white feathers primarily due to the absence of pigments like melanin that produce color. Instead, their feathers are made of keratin, which reflects light in a way that appears white. This coloration can help with thermoregulation by reflecting sunlight and may also play a role in mating displays and camouflage in their natural habitats.
