Peacock and exotic bird feathers for jewelry, accessories and table centerpieces: Do they have to kill the birds to get the feathers?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:It depends. At the Friendly Feather Shop, they say this: ” Many of the feathers in the shop come from Macaws, Roosters, Emus and Parrots living in bird sanctuaries, aviaries, free range farms and loving homes across the country. Other feathers are found in the wild, such as plumage from Turkeys, Pheasants, Blue Jays and Ducks. The feathers used here are always cruelty-free and all natural. This means they are undyed, unbleached, molted feathers from happy, healthy birds.”
