Imping is the process used for which of the following?

• A. Training the bird to hunt
• B. Feeding schedule
• C. Feather replacement repair
• D. Housing and confinement

Answer: (C)

Imping is a technique used to replace a damaged or missing wing feather with a donor feather to repair the bird’s plumage and restore proper flight. The goal is to keep the falcon’s flight ability intact, so it can hunt and maneuver effectively without waiting for a full molt. This focuses on plumage repair rather than training, feeding schedules, or housing, which is why it’s the best answer.
