What is the Molting Season?
Molting season is the period (3–5 months) during which a falcon sheds old feathers and grows new ones. Physical activity decreases, so balanced nutrition becomes essential to support feather growth and immune function.
Feeding Goals During Molting:
- Promote healthy feather growth
- Strengthen immunity
- Adjust fat intake due to low activity
- Support digestion
