What is Molting?
Molting is a process that many different creatures undergo. Insects and crustaceans molt their exoskeletons; snakes and other reptiles shed their skin; and, of course, birds molt their beautiful plumage. However, with most birds, molting is often a fairly inconspicuous event. They lose their feathers a few at a time. They shed their flight feathers in pairs, symmetrically, one from each side, so as not to affect flight. The entire process could take from days to months (depending on the species and the time of year), and the casual observer would not notice a thing. Of course, there are a few exceptions. Many ducks, geese and other waterfowl lose most or all of their flight feathers at once, leaving them flightless for a short while, until new feathers grow in. Due to a waterfowl?s size and shape, the loss of even a couple of flight feathers would drastically inhibit i Survive an Affair ts ability to remain airborne. It makes more sense for them to get the process done in one fell swoop. They molt all the feathers at once, rendering themselves flightless for a brief period. If they shed a pair of feathers at a time, they would be ?practically? flightless, and for much longer duration.Why Do Birds Molt? Molting is basically a tire change. Birds are able to rid themselves of worn, damaged feathers and replace them with beautiful new plumage. Since feathers are responsible for more than just a bird?s ability to fly, molting is even more critical than one might initially think. Feathers also provide weather protection, making a bird virtually waterproof. The feathers on a bird?s body overlap and the individual tines on each feather actually interlock. The net effect is an aerodynamic rain-sheet – wind and water slide right off with little resistance.
