Feathers, after they fell out ...

After your bird has lost a feather and you find it lying at the bottom of the cage or on the floor somewhere, what do you do with them ?

Is there something to do with them ?

Well, I have large birds and am an ex-floral designer. I make vase arrangements and eucalyptus wreaths.

For the little birds, you can make bookmarks or use them to embellish letters and cards.
