Every few months or so, Pearl does something called “molting”.
It starts gradually….a feather here, another feather there.
Then a longer feather – let’s say a tail feather – suddenly drops out.
And it’s on.

It is worth mentioning that Pearl seems as mystified by the process as any of the rest of us.
