The ones they're finding in China don't have wings as such. They have a downy covering all over and long feathers on their tails and forearms. They're thinking about flight but haven't quite got there yet.
It looks like feathers were originally for insulation.
There's a strong possibility that T Rex may have been all feathery. What a sight that would have been!
