A Flower is a song for voice and closed piano by John Cage . It was composed in 1950 for a choreography by Louise Lippold, wife of sculptor Richard Lippold . There is no text the singer vocalises a small number of phonemes such as uh , wah , etc., without vibrato. Instructions given in the score include, for some passages, like a pigeon and like a wild duck . The entire vocal line is constructed of just four pitches, except for a single bar near the end where a fifth pitch is used. The pianist plays by hitting the piano lid in various ways with his fingers, with his knuckles, etc. The composition is somewhat similar to the earlier work for voice and closed piano, The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs .

The pin feather looks somewhat like a feather shaft. However, unlike a fully developed feather, the pin feather has a blood supply flowing through it. As such, if the pin feather is damaged, a bird can bleed heavily. Pin feathers are therefore sensitive, and some pet birds do not enjoy being handled while moulting for this reason. ref http www.keepingchickensnewsletter.com site pin feathers blood feathers chicken first aid Bleeding Blood Feathers Chicken First Aid ref To stop bleeding from a pin feather, it is necessary to pluck the feather from its base. ref http www.avianweb.com bleeding.html Bleeding Birds Bot generated title ref This can be difficult for a pet bird owner to do on a larger bird, so it is recommended owners have the necessary tools on hand in a first aid kit. The bird should be brought to a vet for assistance. As the pin feather grows longer, the blood supply is concentrated in only the base of the shaft, and the tip of the shaft encases the feather itself, in a waxy coating. As moulting birds personal grooming preen , they remove the waxy coating, and the feather unfurls. When the blood has receded, the term blood feather is no longer synonymous with pin feather it can only be referred to as a pin feather. References reflist Category Feathers ... more details

Image Feather stick.jpg thumb right Feather stick ready for action A feather stick is a length of wood which has been shaved to produce a head of thin curls. It is used when starting an outdoor fire or campfire when dry tinder is hard to find, and is often used in conjunction with charcloth . It has been popularised recently in the media by exponents of Bushcraft such as Ray Mears author Ray Mears . It is believed to be a traditional method of fire starting, utilising basic tools and methods. Using Feather sticks Feather sticks are made from dead standing wood, such as a branch that has broken from a tree and died, but has not yet fallen to the ground. The bark and the outer layer of wood are removed to reveal the dry heartwood. This is then shaved, with axe or knife, to produce as many curls as possible. While the flakes can be fairly coarse, the finer they are shaved the more easily they light. When used in conjunction with charcloth, a small piece of charcloth is wound around the curls and a spark is struck on to it, using either the traditional flint and firesteel steel or a modern ferrocerium striker. This is then blown onto until the curls catch fire the whole feather stick is then placed into the waiting kindling to start the campfire.

Feather Bowling is a game played with wooden balls shaped like wheels of cheese. The balls are rolled down a dirt or synthetic alley towards a feather sticking out of the dirt at the other end. The object of the game is to get the ball as close to the feather as possible. Teams take turns rolling 12 balls 6 for each team and may knock their opponent s balls out of the way, similar to Bocce . The team with balls closest to the feather at the end of the round wins 1 point per ball. The game is over when one team scores 10 points. The game has its origins in western Flanders , Belgium where it is known as trabollen . The only place to play the game in the United States is the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit , Michigan . A variant version, called Belgian trough bowling is also available at the Bath City Bistro in Mount Clemens , Michigan .

Unreferenced date January 2009 Pennaceous feathers are also known as contour feathers . This type of feather is present in most modern birds and has been shown in some species of maniraptora n dinosaur s. A pennaceous feather has a stalk or quill. Its basal part, called a calamus, is embedded in the skin. The calamus is hollow and has pith formed from the dry remains of the feather pulp, and the calamus opens below by an inferior umbilicus and above by a superior umbilicus. The stalk above the calamus is a solid rachis having an umbilical groove on its underside. Pennaceous feathers have a central shaft or rachis with vanes or vaxillum spreading to either side. These vanes are composed of a high number of flattened Barb feather barb s , that are connected to one another with barbule s . The barbules are tiny strands that criss cross on the flattened side s of the barbs. This forms a kind of miniature velcro like mesh that holds all the barbs together, stabilizing the vanes. Flight feather s remiges and rectrices are specialized types of pennaceous feathers, adaptation adapted for high wing loading loading s and often strongly asymmetric for improved bird flight flight performance. ornithology stub Category Feathers de Konturfeder ht Plim kontou ... more details
