    ἔτι δ’ ὑγίειαι καὶ νόσοι κατά τε τὰς ὥρας τοῖς ἑτερογενέσιν ἕτεραι καὶ τὸ σύνολον οὐχ αἱ αὐταὶ πᾶσιν […] Τῶν δ’ ὀρνίθων ἐν ταῖς ἀρρωστίαις ἐπίδηλος ἡ πτέρωσις γίνεται ταράττεται γάρ, καὶ οὐ τὴν αὐτὴν ἔχει κατάστασιν ἥνπερ ὑγιαινόντων. [healthy states and sicknesses vary with the seasons differently in animals of different kinds, and overall too are not the same for all. […] When birds are in poor health their plumage shows it, for it is disturbed and does not have the same orderliness as when they are healthy.]
