To those I offered to send peacock feathers to, I apologize for not having done so yet but apparently each country has its own rules about this kind of gift. So, if you want some, you need to check out your own country’s rules and get back to me and then I can arrange.
King and the others will be shedding again soon, so I will have plenty. I/we just have to work out the legal logistics.
for me that would be an honor to hold something in my hand that you had touched and held……..
I would so love to send you some but the rules are strict.
it is alright, i don’t mind, it would just be awesome to touch something you have touched, know what i mean?? you mean so much to me, it would make u even more real, like meeting in person!!!
I hope I can figure out how to send feathers legally!
why is it hard to send a feather?
Bacteria I guess
oh i guess i can understand that
So lovely!
I tried looking into the regulations about the US but you’re right, it seems ridiculously complicated!! Any luck?
I will continue to investigate when I get some time, but if you figure it out in the meantime, and have a few extra, I would definitely be interested! 🙂 my email is aktheauthor@gmail.com
I’ve found out that it’s relatively simple for the sender but it’s the recipient who needs the main permission – still looking into it – thanks Andrea!
Who knew everything was so complicated!!
I have rung a bunch of various authorities and nobody seems to know the rules – it’s seen as a grey area but I would hate to send something and have it confiscated. I think it is the fear of bacteria on the feathers.
That makes sense! I suppose there are all sorts of little critters we don’t know about that could be a problem if they end up on a different continent…it would be a shame to have them just end up in a dead mail center though!!
Do they shed every year? You must have a treasure trove!
We only have the one adult male and this is his second year so yes he sheds every year. I have given heaps away! The teenage peacocks will probably shed too soon!
I’ll look into receiving laws here in the US and in the UK…if they are less strict there, I may have you send me one while i’m in london?
I had a dream about your birds last night Julie – omg – I can’t believe it. I did not recall it till just now reading this…. a sign? Sending Love and big healing hugs !xo
Wow – I hope it was a pleasant dream!
What a wonderful gesture – good luck with rules, laws and regulations, everybody.
I will have to look into the law here in Australia, what am I talking about you’re in Australia too………damn talk about a blonde moment I would love a peacock feather………
haha!
He is gorgeous
I’ll look into it also, see what I come up with, I would love to have some peacock feathers
