Interesting facts about feathers and birds Some 400 billion birds share the planet with us, each with its own abundant coat of feathers. Far, far too many to count. Perhaps even harder to fathom is the wealth of plumage colors, patterns and shapes that spring from Mother Nature’s artistry. Check out this mind-boggling variety of feathers. Equally impressive is the story of how feathers evolved, how they grow on a bird’s body and the multitudinous functions they serve. They truly are marvels of engineering. Prepare to be wowed by the following 20 fascinating feather facts. Birds Are the Only Animals With Feathers Other creatures may fly (bats), lay eggs (lizards) and build nests (squirrels) like birds, but none are feathered. In that way, birds are unique. Plumage Didn’t Start With Birds Scientists now believe that most dinosaurs also had feathers (or at least feathery fluff) including, if you can picture it, Tyrannosaurus rex. That means birds are actually modern-day dinosaurs. In the beginning, feathers were probably more for insulation or ornamentation than for flight. But as dinosaurs evolved into today’s birds, the role of feathers also evolved to help them soar. Feathers Do Much More Than Help Birds Fly Think of plumage as a multifunctional suit — a sort of rain coat, sunscreen, winter jacket, armor and fashion statement all in Tone. Feathers not only protect birds from the elements, thorns and insects, but they also repel water, provide camouflage and help birds attract mates with sexy, showy plume displays. The Number of Feathers Varies Dramatically by Bird Species In general, small songbirds sport between 1,500 and 3,000 feathers, eagles and birds of prey have 5,000 to 8,000 and swans wear as many as 25,000. Hummingbirds have the fewest feathers at 1,000 while penguins have perhaps the densest(warmest)feather coat with about 100 feathers per squareinch Hummingbird Hummingbirds, like this green violet-ear (or Mexican violetear), have the fewest number of feathers in the avian world. Mdf, Edited by Laitche/Wikimedia Commons Hummingbirds, like this green violet-ear (or Mexican violetear), have the fewest number of feathers in the avian world. (Photo: Mdf, Edited by Laitche/Wikimedia Commons) Feathers Can Weigh More Than a Bird’s Skeleton That’s particularly true for flying birds, which have the lightest (mostly hollow) bones to keep them airborne. In some species, a bird’s skeleton represents only 5 percent of its total body weight, meaning their feathers account for a substantial portion of the rest. Feathers Share Similarities With Human Hair They’re constructed from the same fibrous protein called keratin (also the main component of nails, horns and claws), which pushes out of follicles in the skin. However, feathers are also clearly different. Unlike hair, they branch out into complex tree-like structures. The most intricate feathers have a central hollow shaft called the rachis, which sprouts branches called barbs, which further subdivide into smaller branching barbules. These interlock with other barbules to create a sleek, aerodynamic, form-fitting coat. Birds Maneuver Feathers via Tiny Muscles in Their Follicles These muscles form a network throughout a bird’s skin, allowing it to spread its feathers for a mating display, pull them closer together to form a tight seal against freezing temperatures, and fan its wing feathers to boost the surface area for better flight. Wild turkey mating display Tiny muscles in their skin follicles allow birds, like this wild male turkey, to puff out their feathers in magnificent mating displays. Mark Gunn/Flickr Tiny muscles in their skin follicles allow birds, like this wild male turkey, to puff out their feathers in magnificent mating displays. (Photo: Mark Gunn/Flickr) Plumage Comes in Seven Diverse Varieties Feather categories include wing feathers, tail feathers, contour feathers that cover a bird’s body and define its shape, filoplume (sensory) feathers, semiplume feathers that lie underneath contour feathers to provide some insulation, down feathers that offer even more insulation, and bristle feathers on the head that protect a bird’s eyes and face. Feathers Foster Flight Most of us take that for granted, but wing feathers truly are aerodynamic wonders. They’re perfectly designed — lightweight and flexible yet also rigid enough — to help birds lift off the earth, glide through the skies, dive at death-defying speeds, land expertly on flimsy tree branches, and pump continuously for thousands of miles during migrations. Each bird species has just the right feather array and wing shape for its particular flight needs. One Bird Species Uses Feathers to Carry Water The male sandgrouse, a denizen of desert areas in southwest Africa, fills its specialized belly feathers with water from watering holes and transports it back to the nest for its chicks to drink. Down Feathers Offer Unparalleled Insulation These specialized feathers lie between a bird’s protective outer feathers and its skin to insulate against the cold. Down is constructed with flexible barbs that have long crisscrossing barbules. This creates a tight thermal layer that traps air molecules next to the bird’s warm body and retains heat while also being extremely lightweight. In fact, down is so efficient, ounce per ounce, that humans have yet to create anything better. Longest Tail Feathers Belong to Onagadori Cocks These domestic chickens bred in Japan can sport tails up to 10 meters long (32 feet). Feathers Get Their Colors in Multi-Faceted Ways One way is via pigments, three to be exact. One pigment — called melanin — produces black or dark brown feathers. Interestingly, feathers that contain melanin are stronger and more resistant to wear and bacterial degradation. Another pigment group called porphyrins (modified amino acids) produce red, brown, pink and green colors. A third group of plant-based pigments — called carotenoids — provide red, orange and yellow hues. In this case, color is added to feathers when birds ingest either carotenoid-containing plants or animals that have eaten them. Flamingos, for instance, get their pink color from eating algae and crustaceans that contain carotenoids. Pigments Aren’t the Only Color Source for Feathers Some, like the iridescent throat feathers of a hummingbird, result from intricate patterns in the keratin of the barbules that refract light. Blue shades are produced by small air pockets in the keratin. The resulting patterns cancel out red and yellow wavelengths, allowing blue wavelengths to dominate. Peacock feathers A peacock’s blue and iridescent feathers don’t come from pigments but are produced by microstructures in the keratin that play light tricks.

(Photo: Noel Reynolds/Wikimedia Commons) The Better the Color and Feather Display, the Better the Chances for Mating It’s a hard-and-fast rule in the avian world. Studies show, for instance, that male house finches with the reddest feathers get more females. It’s hypothesized that bright colors may be nature’s way of indicating vitality and good health. Same for tail length. Research shows that female barn swallows (as well as many other bird species) find males with the longest tail streamers to be the most attractive. In the case of peacocks, male attractiveness is determined by a combination of iridescent colors, tail length and how enticingly they shake their display feathers. At Least One Bird Species Sings With Its Wings Male club-winged manakins rub specialized wing feathers together at super-high speeds like crickets. The vibration produces a violin-like sound called a stridulation. Its purpose? To woo the ladies, of course. Preening Isn’t Just About Looks Regular feather grooming actually serves many crucial functions. Preening keeps parasites in check, removes dirt, keeps feathers supple and allows birds to properly arrange their plumage for the most effective insulation, waterproofing and flight. The secret ingredient is a special protective oil produced in the preen gland near the base of a bird’s tail used to coat feathers. Some species like owls and pigeons don’t have this gland but rely instead on specialized feathers that disintegrate into a powder down that’s used to coat feathers in the same way. Pied shag preening A pied shag (native to New Zealand) preens its feathers to keep them clean, parasite-free, supple and waterproof A pied shag (native to New Zealand) preens its feathers to keep them clean, parasite-free, supple and waterproof Flamingos Use Preen Oil as Makeup Turns out the oil from their preen glands also pick up carotenoids like their feathers. Researchers have observed flamingos rubbing reddish-orange preen oil for extra dazzle on their already pinkish breast, neck and back feathers. Birds Replace Their Feathers Regularly It’s called molting, and it’s how birds deal with the normal wear and tear that gradually degrades hardworking feathers (even carefully preened ones). Depending on the species, birds may shed all their worn or damaged feathers or just some in a staggered fashion to make way for fresh new plumage. Molts typically occur once a year, but some species molt more often. Birds Aren’t the Only Ones That Can Replace Feathers So can humans, using an ancient technique called imping (short for “implanting”). This is particularly important for birds that break wing feathers in between molts. Not being able to fly for even a short period of time can be deadly. Imping allows damaged feathers to be snipped and replaced with similar ones from a previous molt or from a donor bird. The procedure involves inserting a thin piece of metal or bamboo (an imping splint) into the shaft of a broken feather still on the wing. Then a replacement feather is slipped onto the other end of the splint, and everything is secured with adhesive. Enjoy the beauty of nature and be happy!

There are few interesting facts about mermaids: One of The Earliest Mermaid Legends Comes From Syria In ancient Syrian (~ 1000 BC), there was a goddess who went by the name of Atargatis. She was a fertility goddess whose cult eventually spread to Greece and Rome and was associated with water (especially lakes) and fish. Often depicted in mermaid form, Atargatis is perhaps the "original" mermaid. Legend has it that she dove into a lake to become a fish, but only her bottom half was transformed. Mermaids Are Literally ‘Women of the Sea’ In Old English, "mer" means "sea," and "maid" simply meant woman. Mermaids are therefore "women of the sea." Following this line of etymological logic, a "mer" man (merman) would be a "man of the sea." Both names make perfect sense and describe their natural habitat without a lot of fuss. Mermaids and mermen are fish-like people who swim through the oceans and the seas. Aquamarine Is Made of Mermaid Tears Aquamarine is the gemstone of the sea, and it's supposed to be a cherished object for mermaids. In addition to being treasure, people once believed this gemstone came from the tears of mermaids, and it used to be thought had the power to protect sailors when they were at sea, or when they fell into the water. Mermaids Can See Into The Future Hans Christian Andersen based the mermaids in his tale, 'The Little Mermaid,' on Scandinavian mermaids called the Havfine. These northern merfolk were able to live in both freshwater and saltwater. They were also supposed to be fairly temperamental, and have the ability to foretell the future. If a human being ever caught sight of one, it was considered a bad omen. Oddly he makes no mention of crabs singing reggae music. The Infamous Sirens Started Out As Bird Women Sirens bring to mind images of lovely mermaids sitting on rocky shores, singing out and luring impressionable sailors to their doom. A ton of folk art as well as many myths support this notion, but the sirens of Ancient Greece were actually bird-women (half woman, half bird). Eventually these bird women, or harpys, were transformed into mermaids in some of the later stories, but they kept their beautiful, bird-like voices, in order to draw the mariners in.
