Which outcome reduces flight capability by impacting avian feather-based lift?

💡 Explanation

Increased parasite load degrades avian feather structure through the mechanism of feather damage. This reduces lift effectiveness because feather integrity is crucial for airfoil shape, therefore flight weakens rather than enhancing resilience, because oiling strengthens and bone relates less directly.
