Birds Are Molting Earlier—Here’s Why It Matters

Wild fact: Birds are shedding their feathers earlier every year, and it’s all thanks to climate change. A 13-year study found fall migratory birds are starting their molt a day sooner each year, which could mess with their migration and breeding. If molting overlaps with these, it could drain their energy and even threaten species like hummingbirds—major pollinators for our food. Want to help?
