Table 2. Primary feather growth rates during molt and replacement of plucked feathers.

Feather	Natural molt		Plucked		t	d.f.	p
Primary 1	2.70	±0.13	2.74	±0.16	−0.732	10	0.732
Primary 2	2.83	±0.13	2.97	±0.18	−1.087	9	0.293
Primary 7	2.65	±0.07	2.57	±0.07	0.876	12	0.393
Primary 8	2.60	±0.19	2.35	±0.18	1.277	12	0.232

Feather growth rates (mm/d ± S.E.) of selected primaries in captive White-plumed honeyeaters undergoing natural molt compared to conspecifics undergoing natural molt while simultaneously replacing an additional 25% of their plumage that was plucked during the experiment.
