FEATHERS
  • Provide insulation and body heat.
  • Provide flight and mobility.
  • Provide a means of communication - flapping, flying and fluffing.
  • Provide a way of attracting a mate.
  • There are three major types of feathers:
           -    Down
           -    Contour
           -    Flight
  • A typical bird's feather weighs more than twice as much as its bones.
