| | FEATHER - LoveToKnow Article on FEATHER |
 | | When their growth has practically completed, and not till then, the old feathers are removed in large patches by the aid of the birds beak; exposing thereby a perfectly developed plumage. | | | There is, however, not only no good evidence in support of the contention, but the whole structure of the feather is against the probability of any such change taking place. | | | Swan-down and the skins of various penguins and grebes and of the albatross are used, like fur, for muffs and collarettes. |

| | Feather picking is an obsessive, destructive behavior pattern during which all or part of feathers are pulled out, amputated or damaged. | | | In the wild, birds with poor feathering condition do not survive, therefore careful attention to the feathers and their condition is vital. | | | This must be distinguished from normal molting and preening behavior. |

| | Feather Picking |
| | Feather picking is an obsessive, destructive behavior pattern of birds during which all or part of their feathers are methodically pulled out, amputated, frayed, or in some other way damaged. | | | Bird behavior tends to be patterned and ritualized. | | | Some investigators believe that hormone-influenced (sexual) feather picking is the result of a bird's attempt to create a "brood patch." This completely featherless area of the breast allows very efficient transfer of heat from the bird's body to the egg(s) it is incubating. |

| | Feather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Another human use is tickling for their soft feeling. | | | Feathers are among the most complex structural organs found in vertebrates: integumentary appendages, formed by controlled proliferation of cells in the epidermis, or outer skin layer, that produce keratin proteins. | | | One theory is that feathers originally developed on dinosaurs as a means of insulation; those small dinosaurs that then grew longer feathers may have found them helpful in gliding, which would have begun the evolutionary process that resulted in some proto-birds like Archaeopteryx and Microraptor zhaoianus. |
