Nothing, birds shed old feathers regulary to maintain their plumage. That is all.
Most feather beds rarely shed, you'll only see a feather or two a week.
Birds do not grow hair.
Stinkbugs change color through a process called molting. During molting, they shed their old exoskeleton and reveal a new, brightly colored one underneath. This color change helps stinkbugs camouflage and protect themselves from predators.

Penguins' feathers do not change color; however, molting each year can give the appearance of a change in color. During the molting process, old feathers are shed and new ones grow in, possibly appearing different in color due to variations in texture and light reflection.
Harvesting feathers typically involves carefully plucking feathers from birds without harming them. This is often done during molting periods when birds naturally shed their feathers. In commercial settings, some feathers are collected from birds raised for food, while others may be gathered from wild birds in a sustainable manner, ensuring compliance with wildlife regulations. Proper care is taken to minimize stress to the birds and to maintain ethical standards in feather collection.
The European goldfinch may lose its wing feathers due to a variety of factors, including molting, which is a natural process where birds shed old feathers to make way for new growth. Additionally, external factors such as parasites, poor nutrition, or environmental stressors can affect feather health. In some cases, feather loss can be a sign of disease or injury. If the feather loss is excessive or unusual, it may indicate an underlying health issue that requires further investigation.

Well,...in the Wizard of Oz they do...! Real paint horses may darken in the winter then shed back out to their original lighter color in the spring.
Yes. Some types of birds (like ducks) moult all their feathers at once and so have a period when they cannot fly. Other change one or more feathers at a time and can always fly.
