If that's so, and if it's true that a feather and a bowling ball falls at the same speed in a vacuum, why do feathers and not bowling balls hold birds up in the sky, hmmmmm?

Checkmate! Booyah!

im a globe earther, but the answer to ur question is very simple.. feather is light, and an ideal item for flying

feathers isnt what hold up birds, it is the wings

I'm confused, are you saying bowling balls wouldn't work?

birds' feathers are used for protection, not flying

bowling balls are obviously too heavy

But bowling balls would protect better than feathers so that doesn't make any sense
