Our over two decades of working with, rehabilitating, teaching about, and living with birds of prey and parrots, we've gathered fascinating information we want to share. Feathers: The one structure that more than any other separates birds from all other animals is an outgrowth from the skin called the feather. It has been said that birds evolved from reptiles and therefore, feathers evolved from scales. However, nothing that is even halfway between scale and feather has ever been found to date. Feathers are one of the strongest natural structures ever evolved. Keratin is their principle component. The out feathers have a ziploc system of barbs and barbules to keep them structurally sound and efficient. Quicknote: - White feathers of a bird wear more quickly than darker colors. These are the feathers that lack melanin, a pigment, and are less durable and therefore wear away more quickly especially at the tip of the tail. MORE INFORMATION TO COME IN FUTURE UPDATES!
