Auriculars

/ɔːˈrɪkjələrz/ noun

Definition

Plural of auricular; feathers on a bird's head that cover the ear area, or anatomical structures related to the ear.

Etymology

From Latin auricularis, meaning 'of or relating to the ear,' derived from auris (ear). The suffix -lar indicates 'relating to' or 'resembling.' In ornithology, these feathers are specifically adapted to protect and cover the auditory region.

Kelly Says

Birds have these special ear-covering feathers that help them hear predators and locate prey in complete darkness—some owls can pinpoint a mouse by sound alone, and these auriculars are key to that superpower.
