It’s tough for any bird to go through the molting process.
Very stressful! But, if you have to molt, this looks like the best place to do it.

As a clarification, I never will “dunk” a penguin. However, under the circumstances of a bird biting a molting penguin aggressively, I will intervene and place the persistent, normally feathered penguin in the pool. I want to make sure this is understood clearly for those who may have a varied definition of the word “dunk”. Thanks.

Thank you for this information: It’s thorough and it’s fascinating. The birds are certainly vulnerable during molting. No wonder you dunked Brenton for biting molting birds!
