What is a "mantle"?
A mantle is a loose sleeveless garment that is often worn as an outer layer over other clothing. The garment typically drapes over the shoulders and down to the ankles, with openings for the arms to extend through. Mantles can be made from various materials, ranging from heavy wool or fur for warmth to lighter fabrics for fashion purposes. Historically, mantles were worn by both men and women in various cultures, and they were often decorated with embroidery, beading, or other embellishments to indicate the wearer's status or rank. While mantles are not as commonly worn today, they continue to be a popular choice for ceremonial or formal occasions, such as graduation ceremonies or religious processions.

What is "mantle"?
Mantle refers to the area of feathers that covers the upper back, shoulders, and base of the wings. It is an important part of their plumage and provides protection and insulation. The mantle feathers are typically well-developed and contribute to the bird's overall appearance and flight capabilities. They help streamline the body during flight and aid in maintaining body temperature. The coloration and patterns of the mantle feathers can vary between species, playing a role in camouflage, courtship displays, and species recognition.
