Featherbase is a non-profit, open-access platform that standardizes and digitizes thousands of feathers from around the world. We explore how 2,087 species, 8,000 specimens, 19,000 images, and 128,000 measurements become a trusted resource for education, conservation, forensics, and citizen science—revealing stories locked in a single feather and insights into a bird’s life. We’ll dive into data quality, CITES considerations, and how the library grows with new entries like the Himalayan monal and Eurasian hoopoe, turning a living collection into a global research toolkit.
