As feathers consist of dead cells and are consequently not fed by the metabolism, they absorb the colour when they are formed. On average, the plumage is changed once a year, however not in one go. The moulting of the old feathers is stimulated by the formation of new ones and this is a gradual process so that the bird keeps a full plumage. When adding Versele-Laga Can-Tax to the food canthaxanthine is transported to the place where the feather is growing and it is given the more intense red colour. Beta-apo-8'-carotenal ensures even better absorption of canthaxanthine. The feather formed retains its colour until the formation of a new feather.
