the wedding

[chlosmom]

it's been bothering me---about the wedding---how many birds died (or were de-feathered)
to hat all those women in westminster---what ever happened to FLOWERS? just venting to
athose i know will understand--thanks

[Shaky]

Good question.

It's not necessary for the birds to die, they do moult. And feathers, if stored correctly can "live" many years .
 Think feather beds, down comforters, down coats, etc.

[chlosmom]

good point---sure hope most of those hats were decorated with
molted feathers---i still think flowers look good on hats---feathers on birds
