What do people use down for? Birds use their down to keep warm, too. Sometimes birds fluff up their feathers which makes them look fat. Birds do this to create air spaces between the feathers. These spaces hold air heated by the body which provides insulation from the cold. http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/Curriculum/units/birdslesson2.html Visit Eaglepedia DISCLAIMER: Information here has been gathered in good faith from the internet and cannot be guaranteed to be totally accurate.
