Feathers are one of the epidermal growths that form the distinctive outer covering, or plumage, on birds. They are the outstanding characteristic that distinguishes the Class Aves from all other living groups. Other Theropoda also had feathers (see Feathered dinosaurs). The Canary is one of the most common domestic birds, and are popular house pets in the United States. Inhalable feather dust contains several allergenic components which cross-react with serum allergens/antigens of the same as well as of other bird species, including Parakeet, Parrot, Pigeon, Canary, and Hen.
