Laggar Falcon - Started Molting

Molting in falcons refers to the process by which these birds shed and replace their old feathers with new ones. Molting is a natural and necessary part of a falcon's life cycle, as it helps maintain the health and functionality of their feathers, which are essential for flight, insulation, and communication.
During molting, falcons typically lose their old feathers gradually, replacing them with new ones. This process usually occurs once a year and can vary in duration depending on the species and age of the falcon. Molting is triggered by various factors, including changes in daylight hours, hormonal fluctuations, and nutritional status.
For falcons used in falconry or conservation efforts, molting can be a crucial period of vulnerability, as their flight and hunting abilities may be temporarily impaired while they grow in new feathers. Care must be taken to ensure that falcons undergoing molting receive proper nutrition, protection, and care to support their health and well-being during this process.
