what are 2 types of bird feathers
Tail feathers are balanced left and right of the center. Flight feathers have a wider and narrower side. This makes them better for flying because they can cut through the air with very little resistance (also called drag). Other types of feathers are made for use on the body of the bird. The downy feathers that are good for warmth are shown on the far right. Semiplume feathers also help to keep birds warm and they help water birds float. The bristle feathers are found around the eyes and nostrils, and for some birds that like to catch flying insects they can be seen around their mouths.
