Posted April 11, 200619 yr If you're: 1. Strange like me and collect your budgies feathers 2. Looking for something to do with the collected feathers then perhaps you could try something like this. It used up most of the Blinkie feathers i've been collecting since Blinkie's first moult. The whole bookmark At least Blinkie thinks i did a good job! (he was flirting with it!) Put to good use! I made it with 2 bits of thick art paper (one for the feathers to be taped to and the other to make the back look neat), lots of feathes, lots of tape and a head shot of Blinkie. I taped the feathers in rows because after trying a few methods on little bits of paper i found that tape did the least damage to the feathers and left them looking smooth and beautiful. Glue made them go all scruffy and it was too messy.
April 11, 200619 yr that is cool Bea - very creative Side note: uhmm Blinks flirts with everything :(Laughing out loud):
April 11, 200619 yr Author I think it could be the peacock style tailfeathers i think.....made Bookmark Blink look like he was poofing himself up to get attention. Edited April 11, 200619 yr by Bea
April 11, 200619 yr Yeeeeah, true. But he was SUPER flirty with this. How could he not flirt with a picture of something so gorgeous! :parrot: Fantastic idea Bea- you are so creative!!!
April 11, 200619 yr Author Mickey was very interested in it last night....he kept sniffing it as if to say "looks like Blinkie, smells like Blinkie....i wonder if i can eat this one?"
April 12, 200619 yr Author Just thought i'd point out that the two middle long feathers are recent tail feathers and then the next ones out are his baby tail feathers. The end of them is stuck at exactly the same place so the difference in length is accurate! Isn't it cute that he used to have weeny tail feathers.
