Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab

The Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab uses a variety of methods to identify more than 9,000 samples each year from civil and military sources. The result of their work adds to an ever-expanding database, which benefits not only aviation safety, but biologists, airfield managers, researchers and engineers designing more bird resistant aircraft systems.
