Aberrant plumage records in Southern Lapwing Vanellus chilensis (Aves: Charadriidae) [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2020 Aberrant colored plumages in birds are not uncommon events in nature. These cases might be associated with genetic, environmental and nutritional factors, the presence of parasites, or even age.

PARENTAL BEHAVIOR IN LAPWINGS (CHARADRIIDAE) AND ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH CLUTCH SIZES AND MATING SYSTEMS [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1982 It is generally assumed that parental behavior is much less demanding in birds that do not feed their young than in those that do (e.g., Graul, 1973; Wiley, 1974; Emlen and Oring, 1977; Welty, 1982 p. 293). That is, parental behavior requires less effort, or at least imposes fewer constraints on time and energy budgets, in the former.
