Axial Feathers

Definition: Axial feathers are the central feathers that form the main structural framework of a bird's wing or tail. These feathers are essential for flight as they provide stability and control during the bird's movements.

Examples:

1. The axial feathers of a bald eagle are strong and stiff, enabling it to soar gracefully in the sky.
2. During the breeding season, male peacocks display the vibrant colors of their axial feathers to attract females.
3. The damaged axial feathers on the injured bird needed careful attention and rehabilitation to restore its ability to fly.
