=======================================================
CLEAN FEATHERS ARE CRUCIAL to birds being able to stay
warm in cold weather and cool in warmer weather. The
barbules of the feathers interlock to provide
insulation. They must be clean to be able interlock.
So even in cold weather, birds need to bathe to keep
their feathers in proper "working order."
