Feathers

[Ray P]

We all know what flight feathers are, the long, stiff feathers found on the wing and tail of our parrots, but.

Did you know ? Each of these feathers contain up to a million threads called barbules .

Figures their feathers would be so incredibly crafted. Parrots are amazing. I save all my parrot shed wing/tail feathers -- put 'em in a vase -- they're too cool to just throw away.

Wow that's really interesting.

Haha I do the same! I have feathers sticking out of plant pots, in vases, it's now part of the decor!

I have Timber's in a baggie. I always thought if someone here needed them for imping I'd be ready!

Have a collection here as well, I may need to dust the feathers now.
