Feathers too
I’m not putting my hard-won, decades old Feather Collection in the compost! No Eagle feathers - but I have a few wild Turkey and Pheasant. ;)
BUT, I will have chicken feathers in the future! The girls are growing fast and both breeds seem to be getting along - I don’t see anyone picking on anyone other than the usual minor ‘sisterly squabbling.’
I put out nesting materials (mostly that coconut coir) for the birds and was rewarded with an Oriole nest in the big Maple right outside of the house. I spotted it now, instead of when I usually find them in the Fall after the leaves have all fallen.
FF: Sorry to hear about your ‘adventure.’ Glad you survived it. If Beau is out ‘doing something’ it usually involves loud machinery, so he’s not coming to my rescue, either. Maybe we can get a package deal on Life Alerts? LOL! My sister and I are saving for our future OFF-ROAD Hover-Rounds. (Electric wheelchairs) :)
Dolly (Beagle) woke me up at 5am this morning to head out to hunt and I was moving very s-l-o-w-l-y myself after a long day of planting, yesterday! ‘Tis the Season! ;)
