Molt In Captivity

Molt in Captivity is a scientific framework that specifies the physiological, ecological, and behavioral patterns of avian molting processes under human-controlled environments, distinguishing it from molting studies conducted in wild populations by focusing on the impacts of confinement, artificial conditions, and managed care on feather replacement cycles.
