I have a nice sized bag full! I live within 2 miles of the Powhaten Lenape Reservation. I emailed to see if they wanted them, but got no response! Ill call this time!

Great idea Lara, I love it!

I save most of them.I put each birds into a separate envelope and i hang the long feathers on my wall....

BUMP .. for info...

Could it be possible to be made sticky.. for reference purposes???

Good idea Suz. I found the glue and it's stuck!

Thank you.. got asked on chat for this info ....again today.... and then thought about the sticky idea when bumping.... LOL

In the most recent Bird Talk magazine - the one with the male Ekkie on the cover - there is a little blurb about this artist and his website:

Big Feather Photos - CLose-up Photography, Parrot Feathers photos, Limited Edition Prints

Basically he takes close-up photos of the dropped feathers from his amazon and makes HUGE prints of them - fantastic pictures, that's my kind of art. I can't afford the prices he's asking to buy one of his, but I'd think this is a fairly easy thing one could do on their own. Arrange feathers as you'd like them, take a picture, adjust in Photoshop or something similar, and blow it up as big as you'd like and matte and frame it. It's on my list of things to try one of these days. Could do one for each bird.

I have one feather from each of our pets in our Christmas Wreath . We keep the real nice ones in a couple vases on the entertainment center, And now I'll keep the others and send them in.

I get a reasonable number of hits on my macaw page and added this as a link with a plea for people to donate.

Thanks Jared!!
