white-feathered
Having snowy feathers
White-feathered describes birds or other creatures having plumage that is white in color.
The term applies literally to species like swans, doves, and egrets, or to individual birds displaying this coloration: a white-feathered owl perched on the branch.
In poultry breeding and ornithology, it often distinguishes color varieties within a species.
