*** About Feathers

***: Feathers, a remarkable creation of nature, are more than just a covering for birds. They represent a complex evolutionary adaptation that assists in thermal regulation, protection, and flight. Each feather is composed of a central shaft called a rachis, with numerous barbs branching off, which in turn split into smaller barbules. These barbules interlock, forming a strong, flexible, and lightweight surface. Throughout history, feathers have been used not only for their functional properties but also symbolically in various cultures to represent aspects like freedom, travel, and spiritual ascension.
