NOOO!! Bird feathers come in a variety of sizes and colors.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the size of the feathers. They vary greatly in size: from the wing feathers of some birds to the downy feathers of others.
As far as we know, there is no bird living without feathers.
It takes two thousand pounds of feathers to make one ton. Depending on the size of the birds from which the feathers are gathered from would determine how many feathers would make a ton.
Birds such as ostriches, peacocks, and chickens are known for their feathers that are used by humans for various purposes, including decoration, insulation, and arts and crafts. These feathers are prized for their beauty, softness, and durability.
All birds have a body covering of feathers. It is sometimes referred to as the bird's plumage.These feathers may be different in structure, depending on the species, but having a body covering of feathers is one of the defining characteristics of birds.
Birds can be classified based on several factors such as size, habitat, diet, behavior, and physical characteristics. The most common classification system for birds is based on their biological groupings, such as order, family, genus, and species. This system helps to organize and categorize the vast diversity of bird species around the world.
Cogruent means the same size and shape. They do not have to be the same color.
A bantam chicken is about the size of a Little Spotted kiwi.
---- A biologist was asked to finally determine whether crows and ravens are really two different birds. This has been a matter of some conjecture for quite some time. Given only a cursory glance, these birds appear to be one and the same. The biologist spent considerable time watching the birds in their habitat and logging hours of observations. The observations did not appear to provide any conclusive evidence that crows and ravens are different. The biologist performed dissections of ravens and crows and found that their internal workings appeared to be similar. No significant difference was found. The biologist then performed very careful examinations of two live birds. One a raven and the other a crow. The heads and beaks are remarkably similar. The size and shapes of the birds' bodies did not show much difference. Even the legs and feet of the birds were similar. But, at last, a breakthrough. The long feathers at the tip of a birds wings, the pinion feathers, provided the conclusion that ravens and crows differ. A raven has four pinion feathers and a crow has five pinion feathers. So........................... The difference between ravens and crows is a matter of a pinion!
Birds were some of the first creatures identified in the creation of the theory of evolution. Birds adapt to their habitats by the color of their plumage, the shapes of their beaks, the size of the bird itself, and the shape of their feet.
It is estimated that there are around 667,000 feathers in a ton. However, this number can vary depending on the size and weight of the feathers.
If the mass of loose feathers is the same size as the mass of loose nails, then the nails have much more mass as they contain less molecular space. For anything, if it weighs the same and is compressed to match the same density of empty molecular space, regardless of size difference, the mass is exactly the same. For example, a bright burning sun a million times the size of our own may be very light in comparison to a dead compressed cold star half the size of Earth and being a million times more dense.
