There are different kinds of feathers anon. You should study swan wings since they are what artists use for angels wings and stuff. Just keep in mind that flying feathers are meant to wrap around the animal and they are a little bit translucent (like human skin). Like in this pic you can pretty much see an X-ray of the bird's arm bone since light goes through the feathers. The downy feathers are just meant to keep the animal warm and are pretty much like fur. You can research subsurface scattering to learn more.
