"Macro Mondays" this week's theme "Summer Olympic Sports" HMM
Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport with five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles.
The shuttlecock cone is formed from 16 or so overlapping feathers, usually goose or duck, embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. To ensure that shuttlecock rotate consistently, only feathers from the birds' left wings are used. Feather shuttles may come off the strings at speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph).

I found these little feathers on the grass that were plucked out together during a fight between two house sparrows while I was visiting my friend. The screeching of them called our attention but luckily they stopped fighting then went their own way.
Macro Monday's theme is "low key".
These are three macaw feathers (two down feathers from our Green Wing and one small feather from our Hahns-mini macaw). The total frame measures about 1 1/2 inches. I placed a measurement photo in the first comment box.
Feeding birds are forever retreating suddenly to their hideyholes when spooked on our patio. But there is no need to call in Scotland Yard's Flying Squad... A tiny telltale feather clinging to the leaf of our Clematis montana has given away one of their haunts ... :-))
A windy day on the lake… birds had to fight against the cyclone, there were ripples and small waves on the water… but this feather stayed stable and on her own - have a great Sunday ahead….

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all...................... Emily Dickinson
I do not believe that any peacock envies another peacock his tail, because every peacock is persuaded that his own tail is the finest in the world. The consequence of this is that peacocks are peaceable birds.

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.

Brought Grandchildren home with us for a few days of the school holidays so catch up as soon as I can.
With the feathers you are found, you can build yourself something beautiful. I was lucky to get some pale lens flares too.
