The pattern of feather drop and replacement proceeds as described for passerines (above) until all other rectrices have been replaced; only then are the central tail rectrices moulted.
O padrón de caída das plumas e a substitución avanza como se describe nos paseriformes (ver arriba) ata que foron substituídas todas as outras rectrices; só despois se mudan as rectrices centrais da cola.
