Note 642 — Chapter XXXIX · ON MANAGEMENT DURING THE MOULT
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
In the plains of India, hawks during the moult should not be so gorged, at least not during the four or five months of hot weather. Hawks that are kept too fat will not moult properly. Further they should be fed only once in the day, and that in the morning. If gorged in the evening, their rest is affected, and they do not get the benefit of the slight coolness of the night.
