That is so interesting Finn and makes total sense.  I have read that molting can be stressful to some birds and that they use extra energy to generate new feathers.  We are always learning new information, very cool.
Thanks Finn.

Gosh, Finn - what an interesting article on molting.  The first thing I thought of was our Decorah at SOAR.  Kay Neumann put his Ambassador training on "hold" so that he could have a "no stress" period while the normal molting is going on in hopes those problematic tail feathers will all grow in.  Sounds like she also realizes what extra stress a bird goes through while molting feathers.  Here is the link to Decorah's training updates from the SOAR website:

What interested me was the range of behavior changes that could occur from molting stress--e.g., stopping vocalization, irritability, retreating to quiet spaces and wanting to be alone--sounds like some people I know--lol.

lol, Finn! :D  I love your quote by Rachel Carson, btw.

I'm a chipmunk, but was almost a duckling or a turtle. :)

Did you know?

Elephants' ears are a little like an air conditioner. As elephants flap their wet ears on a hot day, the blood flowing through the many blood vessels in the ears is cooled. This, in turn, cools their large bodies on warm days.

Just saw the birds on wires, GG - it's lovely! Also just found the 'what animal are you' quiz and turns out I'm a bear cub.  ;D
