Birds may also have rictal bristles, which are hairlike feathers that occur mostly around the base of the bill, nostrils and eyes. The rictal bristles around the eyes act as eyelashed, to protect birds from dust. Similarly, the nose bristles filter dust from the air, rather like the nose hairs of some mammals.
