Wood and feather are good insulators because their materials do not have particles which are free to move. In addition the branched and layered structure of feathers means that they trap a lot of air pockets which makes them even better at trapping heat.

Why are feathers good insulators?

Feathers are good insulators because they have a high number of tiny air pockets that trap air close to the body. This trapped air acts as a buffer against heat loss, helping birds regulate their body temperature in cold environments. Feathers also have an outer layer that repels water, keeping birds dry and further improving their insulation properties.
