inheritence class not compiling

i am just playing around with code and learned about inheritance in class today, cant get this to compile and dont know what is wrong, just says that it can not find C in the line colorfeathers = c

public class Bird extends inheritance{

    private String colorFeathers;

    public Bird(String c, String n){
        super("Bird:" , n, 2, 0);
        colorFeathers = c;
    }

    public String GetColor(){return colorFeathers;}

    public void setColors(){colorFeathers = c;}

    public String toString(){             
        String hold = super.toString(); 
        hold += "color:" + colorFeathers;
        return hold;   
    }
}

The c in this function

public Bird(String c, String n){
   super("Bird:" , n, 2, 0);
   colorFeathers = c;
}

Only exists in that function. Once the function is complete, c no longer exists. Therefore, this call to the c variable

public void setColors(){colorFeathers = c;}

Cannot work.

Perhaps you also mean for setColors to have a c parameter? Like this

public void setColors(String c){colorFeathers = c;}

the problem is in the public void setColors(){colorFeathers = c;} You are not passing in c as a string so the variable is unknown in the context of the setColors method

you are missing the parameter here 

 public void setColors(String c){colorFeathers = c;}

assuming all other things in superclass are okay
