Question

1. which type of feather gives the bird its color?

Contour feathers are the outer feathers that cover a bird's body, and they are responsible for giving birds their distinct coloration and streamlined shape. Flight feathers are for flight, down feathers for insulation, and barbs are the small branching structures that make up feathers, not a full feather type that provides overall color.
