- •
Feathers are confirmed as an important tool for non-destructive biomonitoring.
- •
A geochemistry approach is helpful to assess external contaminants in feathers.
- •
Birds living in a defined area, as chicks, are more suitable for studies on feathers.
- •
External contamination should be cautiously discussed in studies on feather analysis.
- •
Washing methods should be ameliorated to reduce external contamination in feathers.
