Spring Molt

[twilightpony]

Spring molt is definitely underway. I dropped a few primaries this morning, a secondary is loose and my wings are looking ratty. Every time I get up my reading cushion has a lilac coating of hair.

Spike is grumbling about hair clogging the drains. On the bright side, I now have new quills that match my coat!

That sounds like it'd be incredibly annoying.

[twilightpony]

Oh my yes. You have no idea!

Molting? Very interesting!

And it must be very nice having quills match your coat!

[twilightpony]

I can now say with assurance that I know now when I am most like a writing desk.

[flareblitzfury]

Something like that should be very interesting to know!

How nice to be able to grow your own quills!

So ponies grow winter coats, and lose them again in spring? Fascinating; and it makes sense. I often wish I could do the same thing, it can get awfully cold in winter when your body's (mostly) hairless. (Though clothes help, of course.)

You don't put on a layer of insulating fat? You are curiously ill adapted to living in snow!

We are indeed!
