Add to that the feathered dinosaurs found in China. Looks like feathers evolved first as a means of controling body heat (i.e. keep the feather close to stay warm, puff them out and cool off). Modern bird feathers do this quite nicely and, this ventilator trick is something mammals can't do with hair very well.

Though for us, it makes no difference since we have so little hair.
