Definition of flight feather in English: flight feathernoun Any of the large primary or secondary feathers in a bird's wing, supporting it in flight. （鸟翼）拨风羽，飞羽。亦称 REMEX Also called remex Example sentencesExamples - Unlike other petrels, the flight feathers of diving petrels are moulted simultaneously, leaving the birds flightless while they grow back.
- In a flap for powered flight, the primary flight feathers are angled in such a way that they force air backwards so the bird is propelled forwards.
- This included approximately eight flight feathers (longest flight feather approximately 23 cm) clumped together with mud and dirt.
- To calculate the flight-feather molt score of a molting bird, it is necessary to accurately estimate how long each flight feather will be when it is fully grown.
- Furthermore, no one has ever previously defined feathers as being only remiges and rectrices or flight feathers.
- Feathers are also crucial for flight; contour feathers on the body establish the smooth, streamlined contour of a bird's body, and the enlarged flight feathers form the aerodynamic surfaces of the wings and tail.
- Swans are caught and their wings' flight feathers are clipped, or pinioned.
- Other than 36 birds captured in subadult plumage, as judged by worn brownish flight feathers and greater coverts and dull orange bills, all individuals measured in our study were adults 3 or more years old.
- Large flocks of unsuccessful breeders and immature birds concentrate in shallow wetlands to molt flight feathers.
- Each flight feather was examined to determine whether it was old, growing, or new and full grown.
- Dial also compared birds at the same day of development, seven days after hatching, but with different lengths of flight feather removed.
- We also excluded all individuals that were molting flight feathers and birds recaptured less than 7 days after their first capture.
- The behavior has long been regarded as a failed attempt at flying, pointless because the young chukar's flight feathers (called remiges) are not yet fully developed.
- In addition, a small clipping was taken from a secondary flight feather for stable-hydrogen isotope analysis.
- That suggests that our captive birds molted their juvenal flight feathers on a schedule similar to that of Tufted Puffins in the wild.
- Even though there is a basic similarity with a flight feather, the peacock tail feather has an unusual barbule structure.
- Their plumage is primarily white or tinted slightly pink or yellow, with black markings on the flight feathers and black eyestripes.
- This is not a simple question because the primitive stage in feather evolution could have been most similar to a flight feather, or to a down feather, or to a contour feather with or without an aftershaft.
- As the plumage of Archaeopteryx includes full asymmetrical flight feathers on the forelimbs, it can be presumed that feathers had a long, unsampled history from the earliest examples to the derived forms seen in Avialae.
- Moreover, when a male mounts her, he raises his wings and flashes a billboard of yellow flight feathers accompanied by ecstatic squawking from both birds.
