| Contour feathers are pennaceous feathers (feathers with a blade-like vane) that have a closely knit vane texture resulting from the presence of barbs, barbules, and interlocking hooklets. These are the largest feathers and they give the bird it shape and streamlined appearance. The flight feathers on the wing (remiges) and the large tail feathers (rectrices) are examples of contour feathers. |

| Down feathers are plumulaceous feathers (feathers with a soft, fluffy vane) that have a short rachis and long barbs that lack hooklets. These feathers lie beneath contour feathers and provide a layer of insulation. |

| Semiplumes are a type of intermediate feather between contour feathers and down feathers. They have a long rachis with a plumulaceous vane. They underlie contour feathers and insulate the body, as well as form smooth, aerodynamic body contours. |

| Bristle feathers have a naked, whisker-like rachis with a tuft of barbs at the proximal end of the feather. These feathers are located around the eye and provide protection from mechanical damage. |
