Apteria means nonfeathered area, it applies to several areas on birds. The areas between the feather tracts on birds are also called apteria.Greater Roadrunner in profile. Although it's probably not at the top of your to-do list for today, but did you ever wonder what that colorful eyepatch behind a Roadrunner's eyes is called? It's known as a postorbital apterium. Feel free to mention that the next time you're chatting with friends...or not.
