F is for Feather - Turkey Down Feather
This is part of a Turkey feather... one of the downy ones. These come in all sizes, from about 10 inches long, to tiny ones a centimeter long.
Take a look at this to understand how turkeys, and other birds, stay alive through the cold of winter. Pack a bunch of these downy feathers next to your skin and you won't feel the cold much.
I have put one of these feathers on the palm of my hand, and then blown on my hand. The wind doesn't come through... the palm of my hand doesn't feel me blowing, if there is a downy feather there.
