Birds molt their feathers to replace old, worn-out feathers with new ones, which helps them maintain their ability to fly effectively, stay insulated, and display vibrant colors for courtship and camouflage. Feathers are essential for birds for various functions such as flying, regulating body temperature, and communication. Molt allows birds to keep their feathers in optimal condition for survival and reproduction.
