Yes, birds shed their feathers as part of their natural molting process. During molting, old feathers are replaced with new ones to help maintain optimal feather condition for flight and insulation. This typically occurs once or twice a year.
No. Ducks are birds, and birds do not have sweat glands. What many birds do have, including ducks, is a "preen gland" at the base of their tail. This gland exudes an oil; the duck uses its bill to spread the oil through its feathers to preen itself.
Birds may shed there feathers if they are sick or have a diease, or if they clean them selves to often but otherwise then that no.
