A shuttlecock (often abbreviated to shuttle and also known as a bird or birdie) is a high-drag projectile, with an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping goose feathers embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather. Shuttles with a plastic skirt are often used by recreational players to reduce their costs as feathered shuttles break easily.

It is a sport-- the main object is to score points and win games.

Points are scored when your opponent allows the bird to fall in his court.
