	Feather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feathers are one of the epidermal growths that form the distinctive outer covering, or plumage, on birds.
		Feathers are among the most complex structural organs found in vertebrates: integumentary appendages, formed by controlled proliferation of cells in the epidermis, or outer skin layer, that produce keratin proteins.
		The β-keratins in feathers, beaks and claws — and the claws, scales and shells of reptiles — are composed of protein strands hydrogen-bonded into β-pleated sheats, which are then further twisted and crosslinked by disulfide bridges into structures even tougher than the α-keratins of mammalian hair, horns and hoof.

		The reproductive power of the feather follicle appears to be almost inexhaustible, since it is not diminished appreciably by age, nor restricted to definite moulting periods, as is shown by the cruel and now obsolete ctistom of plucking geese alive, no less than three times annually, for the sake of their feathers.
		Feathers which possess strong or stiff shafts cannot without some preliminary preparation be used for stuffing purposes, as the stiff points they present would not only be highly uncomfortable, but would also pierce and cause the escape of the feathers from any covering in which they might be enclosed.
		In the male bird, the long feathers of the rump and wings are white, and the short feathers of the body are jet fl; while the rump and wing feathers of the female are white tinged with a dusky grey, the general body color being the latter hue.

	Treating and Preventing Feather Picking
		Feather picking is an obsessive, destructive behavior pattern of birds during which all or part of their feathers are methodically pulled out, amputated, frayed, or in some other way damaged.
		With this fact and the image of the feather care and maintenance continuum in mind, it should not be too difficult to appreciate why captive birds, experiencing multiple stresses day after day, continuously pick at their feathers.
		Feather pickers or birds prone to this vice soon discover these altered feathers and begin to methodically and obsessively chew and split that part of the quill that remains of the clipped feathers.

	Feather Picking
		With this fact and the feather care and maintenance continuum in mind, it should not be too difficult to appreciate why captive birds, experiencing multiple stresses day after day, continuously pick at their feathers.
		There is little difference between drawing a feather through the beak to condition it (preening) and doing the same thing but clamping down on the feather midway through the process and cutting it in half or pulling it out (feather picking).
		Feather pickers or birds prone to this vice can discover these altered feathers and begin to methodically and obsessively chew and split that part of the quill that remains of the clipped feathers.
