The seagull feather shaft is an important part of the feather, which provides a good mechanical support for the excellent flight performance of seagull, and has the characteristics of lightweight and high strength. In this paper, the microstructure of the seagull feather rachis was observed firstly. Then, based on the structure of feather rachis, combined with the cortex that plays the main load-bearing role, a model with the characteristics of the cortex was proposed and its finite element model was established. Through analyzing the simulation, the effect of section shape of cortex on mechanical properties of feathers under axial impact was revealed. And the conclusion that the section shape with groove structure and non-equal wall thickness could have different effects on mechanical properties was drawn. Then, parameterized cortical models were studied, including different impact velocities and different cortical heights, to reveal the differences in mechanical properties of cortical models.
