Some birds demonstrate this phenomenon by changing mass and flight muscle ac- cording to changes in wing loading. During moult, birds suffer from reduced wing area because feathers are shed and replaced, resulting in a wing loading increase. Moult is rather well studied in birds, but the perspective
