Each year, birds lose some of their old feathers and grow in replacements. This process is called molting. Molting is necessary to maintain good feather condition as feathers can become thin, damaged, or broken with age and use. New feathers are nutrient-intensive to grow. Poor nutrition during feather growth can result in thin or deformed feathers that break more easily. In the wild, birds only molt in a few of their larger feathers at a time. This is both due to the nutritional cost of growing

Winona has completed her molt! Molting is when birds replace their old, worn out feathers with new ones. This is done by the old feathers falling out, and new ones growing back in their place.
