I have always been fascinated by bird feathers and wondered at this GODs creation. Recently I have started collecting feathers and it si growing steadily. I have asked all my friends and relatives to collect feathers as and when they find them and keep them for me in a cardboard box. Now I mus learn how to preserve them and take care of them. Can anyone give me hints? Also- Is a there a name for feather collectors?
