  • THE BIOLOGY OF MOULT IN BIRDS *
    THE BIOLOGY OF MOULT IN BIRDS *
    LUKAS JENNI
    Unique to birds and with a multitude of functions, feathers are amazing structures. All birds need to renew their feathers periodically, in a process called moult. Because feathers can only be renewed as a whole, all functions of the plumage are impaired during moult, and so this process has a crucial impact on most aspects of a bird's life. Therefore the period of moult is one...
