Passage 1
Molting is one of the most involved process of a bird’s annual life cycle. Notwithstanding preening and constant care, the marvelously intricate structure of a bird’s feather inevitably wears out. All adult birds molt their feathers at least once a year, and upon clo obrvation, one can recognize the frayed, ragged appearance of feathers that are nearing the end of their uful life. Two distinct process are involved in molting. The first step is when the old, worn feather is dropped, or shed. The cond is when a new feather grows in its place. When each feather has been shed and replaced, then the molt can be said to be complete. This, however, is an abstraction that often does not happen: incomplete, overlapping, and arrested molts are quite common.
Molt requires that a bird find and process enough protein to rebuild approximately one-third of its body weight. It is not surprising that a bird in heavy molt often ems listless and unwell. But far from being random, molt is controlled by strong evolutionary forces that have established an optional time and duration. Generally, molt occurs at the time of
least stress on the bird. Many songbirds, for instance, molt in late summer, when the hard work of breeding is done but the weather is still warm and food still plentiful. This is why the woods in late summer often em so quiet, when compared with the exuberant chorus of spring.
下嘴唇厚的男人 Molt of the flight feathers is the most highly organized part of the process. Some species, for example, begin by dropping the outmost primary feathers on each side (to retain balance in the air) and wait until the replacement feathers are about one-third grown before shedding the next outermost, and so on. Others always start with the innermost primary feathers on both sides. Most ducks shed their wing feathers at once, and remain flightless for two or three weeks while the replacement feathers grow.
21. The passage mainly discuss how_______.
A. birds prepare for breeding
B. bird feathers differ from species to species
C. birds shed and replace their feathers
D. birds are affected by asonal changes
