Presentation Transcript

  1. Bird Feathers

  2. Flight Feathers • The shaft is not down the center.  When the bird takes to the air, its wing feathers spread to create an aerodynamic surface. When the bird lands, feathers are flexible enough in their arrangement to enable the wing to fold neatly against the bird's body without bending or damaging the flight feathers.

  3. Contour Feathers

  4. Down feathers  Down feathers help to keep a bird warm by trapping air close to the body, which insulates the bird from the cold. Babies are covered ONLY in down

  5. Tail Feathers Tail feathers are balanced left and right of the center. Although they are considered flight feathers, they are specially adapted to use for steering and mid-air breaking.

  6. Display feathers These feathers are typically found on males and are used to attract females during mating season.
