Follow me on:

Feathers are one of the most prominent features of a bird's body, but how much do we really know about them? The feather is a structure unique to birds, as not a single other species of animal on earth has them -- and the feathers play an important role. To learn more about the structure and function of different bird feathers, as well as what all those bright and beautiful colors mean, be sure to read "The Wonder of Bird Feathers" on Earthlife.net. You may be surprised to learn that feathers are good for far more than just flying around!
