A bird needs a great many feathers to cover its body and keep it warm and dry. And there seem to be almost as many expressions using the word '
' as there are feathers on a bird.
One expression is an ancient one, but still is popular. To have a "feather in one's cap' is an honor today, just as it was six-hundred years ago. Then, the story goes, a solider added a feather to his hat or cap for each enemy soldier he killed.
