SRSeedBurners Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Anyone else keep a little treasure chest similar to mine? Only the best little jewels make it into the collection. Easy to tell which ones came from my big grey goose. Harder to tell which midget the green ones came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a large mason jar full of feathers in the living room and a smaller one in another room. Keep thinking I will make time to be creative with them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 At one time I kept all the feathers from all my birds in a box. Not sure where the box is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileysPapa Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I keep all the molted feathers from my flock also. I use a lot of them in jewelry that I make, generally earrings. Also, I have a few cherished ones, like the little yellow one from my beloved lovebird, Bella, in a tiny memory jar that I often wear on a chain around my neck. Or the molted tail feather that I have added to a framed photo of my Jessye. It's the only photo of him, & only feather that I have from him. I feel it's similar to people keeping locks of loved one's hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I keep some of my parrots feathers. If my parrots should get lost, I would use them to identify my babies if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a little box of Gracie's red tail feathers. I plan to donate them to local Native American groups who have asked for feathers from the local Avian Society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Birds Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I also have a small box full of feathers. I have used some of them in greeting cards. I would love to have some made into earrings, but every time I think I have found some one to do it, it falls through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 AWWWWW... I also have a chest of feathers and foot prints in a box. I haven't kept up on it! Poor Sophie has that " last baby syndrome". We love her to death... but don't collect like we should! ( we do take alot of pictures of her!)

katana600 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 There is something beautiful, uplifting, hopeful about a feather. I have saved ours too. I draw feathers, am mesmerized by feathers in quilts, thread painting and artwork. Of course, no feather is as wonderful as those still attached to my raggedy little Cajun queen.

zeevah Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 A long time ago I used to give feathers from my B&G and CAG to a lady who said she wanted to make necklaces from them. I later found out she was selling the necklaces in an art gallery for quite a lot of money! I went to see her necklaces and they truly were works of art. Very beautiful. No, I didn't get a commission, lol, but it made me feel happy that my bird's beautiful feathers were being worn and admired from so many people.
