A pumage refers to the soft, downy feathers found on birds, particularly in young or juvenile birds. It provides insulation and warmth before they develop their adult plumage. In a broader sense, the term can also describe the overall feathering or appearance of a bird. However, it is most commonly associated with the fluffy, softer feathers that help in thermoregulation.
