Okay, so a few months ago I took my parakeet Cohen to Petco to have his wings clipped, and I had to wait around for a while and there were dogs in the store and stuff and I didn't think about covering his cage, so he was all freaked out, and then when the woman took him to clip his wings, he got all freaked out and dropped some of his feathers. The woman was really apologetic, but she said that that is just something that birds do sometimes and he'll be okay. So I took the feathers and I bought him a bunch of presents and treats and took him home and he's happy and cute again, and best of all he's regrown the beautiful long tail feathers that fell out.

Second best of all are the earrings I made with the feathers.
