| | Ageing and moult in Catharacta skuas - surfbirds.com |
 | | While moult may be an important component of any accurate identification process, it is our opinion that this is still poorly understood for all species of Catharacta, particularly with respect to non-adult birds. | | | The Scilly bird did show pointed primaries, but a number of less subjective features (see earlier discussion) indicate that this bird is not a juvenile, and one is drawn to the conclusion that this may not be a dependable ageing criterion. | | | Therefore at present we feel that the state of moult in the Scilly bird does not provide us with any conclusive information as to its identity. |

| | Pigeonbasics.com - Articles - The Moult - (Chapter 9) |
| | Although the moult is a perfectly natural occurrence, pigeons, unless they receive regular and sufficient food during the mouths of August to December, will not be able to grow perfect new feathers; and will be unlikely to perform well in the following season’s races. | | | It must be stressed here, however, that some pigeons (and indeed some families of pigeons) moult more quickly than others, and cocks seem to cast a flight more frequently than do hens. | | | This does not appear to have any significance, and does not mean that one is either better or worse than the other. |

| | Moult |
| | Relaxation and ample loft space for every pigeon is essential to encourage a good moult. | | | Experienced pigeon fanciers often say, "Races are won in the off-season". | | | Birds returned to peak condition with favourable feeding and draught free lofts will behave the same way. |

| | Understanding moult in large gulls may help elucidate recent unexplained changes in herring gull and great black-backed gull distribution in the Bay of Fundy and elsewhere. | | | Dead or culled gulls have been used in the past for study of moult patterns. | | | If the case, changes in moult patterns within and between populations over time may serve as possible indicators of ecological conditions and change. |

| | A moult pattern as shown by the Zeebrugge bird is therefore not impossible for fuscus, though the juvenile primaries are normally extremely abraded in such birds (cf. | | | Typically, such birds show a plumage that resembles intermedius or graellsii, but their moult state is significantly advanced, much like fuscus. | | | What they do show, however, is that care, as always, must be taken when applying the criteria as described by Jonsson and Rauste and that, in fact, moult is not as diagnostic of fuscus as first thought. |

| | Moult |
| | Every time a bird spider changes its skin it gets a beautiful colour and it grows a lot. | | | Before it starts moulting the spider will stop eating for a while, then you will suddenly find it flat on its back with its legs up in the air stretched out on a thin-woven mat. | | | This is to let everything become hard such as the teeth that now look soft and white. |

| | Moult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The most familiar example of moulting in reptiles is when snakes "shed their skin". | | | Insects need to moult as they grow because their hard exoskeletons do not allow much room for expansion. | | | The freshly moulted crayfish will invariably be larger as part of the growing process, but is vulnerable in two ways because its shell is very soft:- |

| | Natural history of Wildfowl Waterfowl Ducks Geese |
| | One unusual but very important feature of the natural history of wildfowl is the manner in which they moult their plumage. | | | Wildfowl, on the other hand, moult all of their wing feathers simultaneously with the result that they become flightless for several weeks. | | | Most other families of birds undergo a gradual moult during which the flight feathers are shed and replaced gradually over a protracted period. |

| | gull moult timing |
| | The partial moult is typically the head and body feathers, as well as some of the coverts (though much of this is unknown). | | | There is variability from bird to bird regarding both moult timing and the actual feathers moulted. | | | Thus, their juvenal plumage is essentially their "first winter" plumage, and what we used to call "first winter" feathers are actually "first summer". |
