	The Four Feathers
		The first four adaptations were all made prior to 1940, and the movie itself takes place in the golden age of the British Empire.

		Yet The Four Feathers has rewards, from the exoticism of its seas of sand to the fierce grandeur of its sweeping battle scenes.

	Modamag.com \| The Four Feathers (Movie Review)
		Shekhar Kapur’s “The Four Feathers” is a fine example of epic filmmaking, and a picture that would be better served if the year were 1962, and audiences had the patience for such a luxuriously detailed story.
		Thus “The Four Feathers,” for all its potential, is a flawed film.
		“The Four Feathers” is never boring, and would probably benefit from being longer, in that it feels as though Kapur shot the film in a fashion that would play out more appropriately over three hours.

		Given four white feathers by his friends as a symbol of his perceived lack of cowardice, Harry suffers with his tarnished ego before making the journey to the Sudan himself.

	Great argus - Argusianus argus: More Information - ARKive
		Great argus males are amongst the most unusual and distinctive of all birds, unmistakable with their astoundingly long wing and tail feathers, decoratively adorned with iridescent eye-spots (ocelli) (4).
		Females are similar but smaller than males, with shorter tail and wing feathers and lacking the male's eye-spots (4) (6).

	Swifts - international high flyers - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		The nest is a fairly simple shallow cup built from grass, leaves and feathers, cemented together with saliva.
		Before fledging they must 'slim down' to be ready to fly and so they will stay in the nest for up to a week, using up fat reserves, but more importantly growing their flight feathers and losing weight.
		They have four toes which largely point forward allowing the sharp claws to grip a hard vertical surface with ease but they can also grip softer surfaces by using two opposing pairs of toes angled laterally.
