-  The characteristic cannot jump generations
-  It will affect a large proportion of the birds
-  Visible even if carried by only one gene
-  can come from only one of the parents
-  breeding is predictable
 
Therefore:

-  Dominant birds can have recessive babies, but not vice-versa.
-  Dominant birds can carry recessive genes
