Ray P Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) 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 . Edited June 21, 2017 by Ray P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Got to hold it all together even in flight winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNCAG Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullysMom Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Wow that's really interesting. 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. Haha I do the same! I have feathers sticking out of plant pots, in vases, it's now part of the decor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have Timber's in a baggie. I always thought if someone here needed them for imping I'd be ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
