Many birds have patterns on the young that fade away as it grows older. These patterns help to camouflage young birds, so it would be awesome to add a (rare!) gene that would give baby nichelings stripes according to their other genes, which would disappear in the teenage years to be replaced by its adult plumage. This would be helpful in grassy areas to camouflage the baby nicheling or places when stripes are not desired in adult nichelings!
