I don't think a lot about it, but I do always like to collect feathers I see that are in a good condition. I have a couple of canadian geese feathers, two blue jay feathers and a couple others I am not sure what kind of bird they were from. One is white with brown stripes and one is mostly light grey with some darker grey towards the bottom.

That said I don't know what to do with them, but I like collecting them.

I used to have eagle feathers but sadly I've long since misplaced them.

I used to love collecting feathers and sea shells. The only feather I have left is a huge owl feather my mom found ahd gave me that I sometimes use for smudging.

I have collected feathers all my life. I have barred owl feathers, turkey, blue Jay, roseate spoonbill, ibis, great blue heron and lots more. I put the in bouquets and place then around the house.

OMG, I loved collecting those when I was merely a little girl, I was not more than 4-5 back then. It was my very first collection I ever had in my life. :D One day, I remember, I got bored with the idea of collecting feathers and I got rid of it, throwing them out... but just a moment later I came to the conclusion it was a very bad idea for at this very moment I understood I loved my collection so much and I wanted to keep it, so my grandmother had to crawl to gather the feathers back :lol:
