Koohii stories:

1) [fiminor] 20-3-2007(182): The thing about feathers is that they usually cover the entire bird. A creature with feathers only on its wings would be very uncommon.

2) [Nukemarine] 7-12-2007(56): WINGS without any FEATHERS would be an UNCOMMON site. Well, unless you like to eat chicken WINGS alot.

3) [LazyNomad] 9-7-2009(41): This is つばさ. To make a distinct image you can think about aircraft wing for which this kanji is also used. Feathers would be extremely uncommon to use in design of an aircraft wings.

4) [captal] 16-6-2008(24): When we talk about wings and feathers we usually talk about 羽 , but the more uncommon form is つばさ for larger wings- like angels - quite uncommon beings.

5) [rich_f] 10-3-2008(21): Reki's wing feathers were an uncommon color among haibane–they were black instead of white.
