PRIMARY FEATHER FOLLICLE ABLATION IN COMMON PINTAILS (ANAS ACUTA ACUTA) AND A WHITE-FACED WHISTLING DUCK (DENDROCYGNA VIDUATA)
Eight 1-yr-old common pintails (Anas acuta acuta) and one 2-yr-old white-faced whistling duck (Dendrocygna viduata) were presented for the persistence of primary flight feathers 1 yr after pinioning. The birds were housed outdoors in an open enclosure necessitating flight prevention. The birds were...
