Which outcome occurs when flight feathers become detached?

💡 Explanation

Loss of flight feathers hinders flight because the aerodynamic profile is compromised; lift decreases and drag rises due to disrupted airflow over the wing via Bernoulli's principle, therefore flight efficiency suffers, rather than other physiological changes.
