A bird's feathers grow in sets and groups and the bird artist must know how both body feather groups 

and flight feathers are arranged.  Feathers grow in tracks in orderly rows, and overlap like 

shingles on a roof.  Plumage patterns are organized in a similar manner across all species.

Below, these photos were take at Brookgreen Garden's aviary.
