Feathers are attached to the wing via structures called follicles, which are embedded in the skin. Each feather grows from a follicle, with a shaft (rachis) that extends from the follicle and is surrounded by barbs that interlock to form the feather's surface. The arrangement and structure of these feathers are crucial for flight, providing lift and aerodynamic efficiency. Additionally, the muscles and skin around the follicles allow for some movement and positioning of the feathers during flight.
