I'm trying to convince one of the local black birds to loan me a wing or tail feather. If you've got any pull with them and would like to exercize it for me, I'd appreciate it.
My mother was looking for a raven feather for a piece of beadwork some time back, and discovered that part of the reason they're difficult to get hold of is because ravens eat their feathers when they fall out, the better to hide their nesting places. No idea if other blackbirds do so as well.
