The plumage of the remiges of the wings of every species of owl that I have yet examined is remarkably soft and pliant. |
Wing area was reduced by taping primary remiges five to seven. |
Furthermore every species of Lagopus has its first set of remiges coloured brown. |
The remiges remain sheathed, but the body feathers emerge from the tips of the sheaths. |
The wing of the Penguin has nothing comparable to the remiges of other birds. |
It has pure white body feathers except for the black alulae, primary techrices and primary remiges. |
