The feathers are not actually red. They have a pigment in them which reflects red when light shines on them a certain way. The feathers are designed to be light, water repellent, insulating, protective, assistive in flight and attractive to the opposite sex.

I'm very impressed with the Sony's ability to capture detail. I underexposed this shot when I took it because I felt it would bring out the color in the neck better. That is why the background is so dark.
