Why are their feathers needed?

Penguins feathers purpose are to create a barrier to better tolerate wind and water. These certain penguins are known for their feathers and often many of them end up in rehabilitation centers in New Zealand animal hospitals to help rehabilitate their feather waterproofing as most are dependent on waterproof plumage for survival (Setiawan, 2009). Due to the stress of their environment and the populated areas, more Magadyptes are losing their feathers and unable to produce more which would help their endangerment level decrease. <Setiawan, 2009 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malonzo4 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
