The Trumpeter Swan was hunted for its feathers throughout the 1600s - 1800s, causing a tremendous decline in its numbers. Its largest flight feathers made what were considered to be the best quality quill pens.

When do swans lose their feathers?

Swans typically molt their feathers once a year, usually in late summer to early fall. During this time, they lose their old feathers and grow new ones, which can take several weeks. The timing of molting can vary slightly depending on the species and environmental conditions. Interestingly, swans are flightless during the molting period because they lose their flight feathers all at once.
