Explanation
ขนนก is made from ขน, meaning hair, fur, or feather-like covering, plus นก, meaning bird. It is the normal everyday word for a bird feather or down. When counting individual feathers, the classifier เส้น is commonly used, as in ขนนกหนึ่งเส้น, “one feather.”
Usage
It is commonly used when talking about birds, feathers found on the ground, crafts, costumes, decorations, and feather or down products such as pillows.
Caution
Do not use ขนนก for the whole wing of a bird. For “wing,” use ปีก or ปีกนก.
