I have kept almost every feather Humphrey has ever lost. I could stuff a pillow right now! I don't understand how it could be morbid! They're so beautiful and my baby grew them. I've given a couple of pink and green long tail feathers to friends - they make unusual and pretty bookmarks!

I was a floral designer for MJ Designs and a couple of other florists in Maryland. I have made lots of dried flower arrangements, wreaths and swags using the parrot feathers that I save. If you use blue/green eucalyptus, it makes a gorgeous arrangement with BG feathers. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the pictures I took of the wreath I made last fall. Its still hanging on the wall.
