How does air trapped in feathers slow down heat loss from the body of birds?

The base layer of feathers on birds contain small, fluffy, and extremely soft shafted feathers called the down. These are the feathers used in making pillows, comforters and clothing. They provide the insulation needed to protect and maintain their body temperatures during cooler temperatures.When temperatures heat up, however, birds can often be seen "sunning" themselves. By opening their wings and spreading their feathers apart they are able to produce a cooling affect by increasing air circulation. Turning their backs to the sun with the feathers in this position will reflect the sun's rays rather than absorbing them. This also acts to shade their legs and feet which are not insulated.


How do you painlessly remove droppings stuck on birds feathers under tail?

You must protect yourself from the beak and the flailing feet by very carefully, lightly so as not to suffocate your bird, wrap it in a small towel, having available a warm wet washcloth or warm water and a q tip. Gently rub the area and it should release the droppings. I have had to do this several times with my bird. Since he wasn't raised with a lot of handling, he panics and flails and bites at the towel. I've tried to spray warm water on the feathers first with a fine mist sprayer and it makes the removal easier. Other than that, you might visit your local aviary or call a vet who is bird friendly.
