#starling #leijpark013
Have you ever wondered why starlings suddenly show a pattern of small white spots on their plumage in winter? That has a reason. Many birds come in the moult before the breeding season begins. Then the males need nice colors to seduce the females. The females, in turn, need bracts so as not to stand out when they are on the eggs. Not all birds moult the same. At the starling, the tips of the feathers of the head and chest wear off. The rest of the feathers contains melanin, a brown dye that prevents wear and tear. Under the springs, which thus partly wear off, new springs form that eventually push the old springs all the way out. That is a gradual process and every winter the old spring is worn a little further. If the new spring is left, this whole process starts again.
The starling so beautifully speckled shows nothing but worn spring tips. Changing this way of changing the old plumage for a 'new jacket' costs much less energy than when the feathers fall out en masse and then a new plumage has to grow. this is how the starlings keep the energy they need to breed and to swarm.
