What is function of feathers in birds?

Answer 1

it make them fly,the equvate the balance of the birds in air and keep them in sky the volume of the feathet must be as much as the weight of the birds.if the feather tends to shed away then birds are not able to fly

Answer 2

I'm assuming you mean duck feathers, soooo, lets gooooooo! LOL Anyway, feathers help some ducks to fly, as well as keep them warm in the cold. Some ducks, however, don't fly, so the main purpose of their wings is to keep warm. Also, the feathers shed water, so when they swim, they don't actually get wet.

Answer 3

Probably warmth. There were no flying dinosaurs (There were flying reptiles, but they weren't dinosaurs, just coeval with them), so they weren't for flight. They MIGHT have had some aerodynamic function, though, helping small agile dinosaurs to make tight turns when running.

Answer 4

Not all Dinosaurs had feathers. A few kinds had them, at first probably to keep warm and possibly for display. Eventually they became adapted for flight.

Answer 5

To help the birds in a family identify each other. Every feather is unique to a line of birds.

Answer 6

The two primary reason for the feathers are for flight and to conserve heat.
