Basic information

Bird feathers are light and wear-resistant, and they are poor conductors of heat. Flying feathers and tail feathers are of great significance to flight. Birds often bathe their feathers, shake off the dust between them, comb them with their mouths, and peck the fat secreted by fat glands at the tail to smear them all over their bodies.

It is distributed on the body surface, wings and tail, including large feathers (profile feathers) outside the cover and flying feathers and tail feathers planted on the wings and tail. The number of flying feathers and tail feathers is constant. At the end of the feather shaft is a feather root deeply embedded in the skin. There are many parallel feather branches obliquely distributed on both sides of the feather shaft, and each feather branch is divided into neatly arranged feather branches.
