Flight feather

Red kite (Milvus milvus) in flight, showing remiges and rectrices

Primary (left) and secondary (right) feathers of the common buzzard (Buteo buteo); note the asymmetrical orientation of the shafts

Male mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) landing, showing outspread alulae

Male pin-tailed whydah (Vidua macroura) showing modified rectrices

Flight feathers (Pennae volatus) are the long, stiff, asymmetrically shaped, but symmetrically paired pennaceous feathers on the wings or tail of a bird; those on the wings are called remiges (singular remex) while those on the tail are called rectrices (singular rectrix). The primary function of the flight feathers is to aid in the generation of both thrust and lift, thereby enabling flight. The flight feathers of some birds have evolved to perform additional functions, generally associated with territorial displays, courtship rituals or feeding methods. In some species, these feathers have developed into long showy plumes used in visual courtship displays, while in others they create a sound during display flights. Tiny serrations on the leading edge of their remiges help owls to fly silently (and therefore hunt more successfully), while the extra-stiff rectrices of woodpeckers help them to brace against tree trunks as they hammer. Even flightless birds still retain flight feathers, though sometimes in radically modified forms.
