Is it? I never knew! For whatever reason I thought it was more like salmon spawning... which sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud.

( Considering that's less about a drive home and more about a drive for reproduction. Ah... )

Oh, molt! Thank you, I'll try to remember that now. So it takes a month or two in total? Do you end up losing and replacing feathers simultaneously, or... I can't imagine any bird loses all their feathers at once.

( Then he wonders if Julien uses any molted feathers as quills or for making hats or costumes, but, well, opts not to ask that. )
