Hi Lori:
We would not exactly call it pulling of the feathers, rather either the molt (where the feathers fall out prior to winter or prior to summer). Or, as the swan preens, feathers come out, especially the soft down feathers. Birds including swans will use these soft feathers to line their nests. The Regal Swan
