FEATHERS in DETAIL…
Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures. They may also be plucked to line the nest and provide insulation to the eggs and young.
The individual feathers in the wings and tail play important roles in controlling flight.[17] Some species have a crest of feathers on their heads. Although feathers are light, a bird's plumage weighs two or three times more than its skeleton, since many bones are hollow and contain air sacs.
Colour patterns serve as camouflage against predators for birds in their habitats. As with fish, the top and bottom colours may be different, in order to provide camouflage during flight.
Striking differences in feather patterns and colours are part of the sexual dimorphism of many bird species and are particularly important in selection of mating pairs.
A good alternative for flowers, if you want colour, shapes and textures, is feathers.
I had a lot of fun with these, always trying to ‘perfection’ and bring the best.
Here straight feathers in graduating Autumnal colours.
I wish you all a very good day and thanks for all your kind words, time, comments and likes. Very much appreciated.
