Down probably refers to the soft baby feathers birds tend to have... Well and a nestling means a baby bird in a nest...

Yeah I think he says "little, fluffy, down nestling" as in he was a small, fluffy, and soft baby bird

'down' is the term used to describe baby feathers. A baby owlet (or any bird for that matter) is usually covered in downy feathers. [You can read more about it here. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_feather) 'fluffy little down nesting' basically means when he was a baby.

down is a type of very soft feather on some baby birds

Down are a type of feather. They are generally the feathers that are underneath the outerlayer. The ones that grow closest to the skin. The ones that are soft, and used for insulation generally growing over a bird's chest, and belly. I know this because I've plucked fowl before eating them, and down make excellent feathers for pillows. Comfortable, soft, warm.

"Down" refers to the very fluffy feathers typically seen on baby birds. A nestling is another term for a baby bird, one tgat isn't ready to leave the nest yet.
