Needed: parrot feathers for education!

LadyJemima said:

Each year I work with a local kindergarten class teaching avian education. One of my programs focuses on parrots and parrot habitat conservation, including a discussion about feathers (e.g. understanding that it is not okay to pick up feathers in the wild, but it IS okay to possess feathers from non-native birds like parrots). Last year a member of the forums was able to send me enough feathers for each child, but he is no longer able to and I wondered if any other members might be willing to save some feathers during their birds' molt and send them to me? I would be happy to pay for postage within the USA.

Ideally I would be looking for brightly-colored feathers (Macaws, Conures, Grey tail feathers, etc.) that are about the length of a finger.
Thank you!

I believe that you are the same person that made this request in the past. And, it is wonderful that you are back asking again. Your last Thread: Small parrot feathers needed (for education) (

1 2) and from that, Thread, I believe that you had been success and therefore a known Member that understands and properly presents knowledge regarding feathers. That knowledge is likely to encourage a larger population of Members to contribute this year!

FYI: As you know, Macaws provide very few tail feathers under 4" (100 mm).

P.S.: May you have great success this year!
