Which change occurs in soaring birds when wing loading increases due to temporary fat storage?

💡 Explanation

Increased wing loading causes a reduction in maneuverability because induced drag rises during turning, which dominates the trade-off for energy expenditure; therefore birds are less able to exploit tight thermal or wind gradient vortices, rather than improve soaring conditions.
