Feather Factory?

I was just pondering... If only I could come up with a market for all these feathers, maybe I could fund my habit of buying bird toys every time I stop at a pet shop just to "window shop". I am thinking a pillow factory perhaps.

I believe you can sell them on Ebay. I know macaw feathers in very good condition go for a very high price. Your 2's are gorgeous - it's worth a try! I think the Am. Indians purchase them for their headdresses.

I am still laughing! I do believe I am going to have the same conversation with a few of my fids later today! Tho I must admit, telling them about starving birds all over the world did not impress them when it came to tossing their food in all directions. Maybe there should be Bird Olympics, longest food toss could be the first event!

I pick up any feathers I find on the ground, might use them for a hula costume sometime. One of those feather headdresses.

I just hope the ones selling on ebay came out of the birds naturaly.
My grandaughter is collecting the ones from my house...she still doesn't know why but then she is an eight year old.
