The number of feathers a bird has depends very much on its size and where and how it lives, in general a third of a birds feathers are on its head.

The bird with the least feathers is the Ruby Hummingbird Archilochus colubris with only 940 feathers in total.

The bird with the most feathers is the Whistling Swan Cygnus columbianus which can have as many as 25,000 during winter.

More than 8 billion broilers are produced in the United States annually, yielding approximately 3 billion pounds of waste chicken feathers.
