Contour feather
Dr. Stephanie Lamb
Note – All feathers are pin feathers to begin with. We tend to refer to the ones on the head as pin feathers because if the bird is alone, those feathers do not get their sheath groomed away immediately like feathers on the rest of the body that your bird can reach. So the pin feathers are more noticeable.
