Feathers are more than just beautiful; they're surprisingly versatile! These natural wonders boast a waterproof coating thanks to preening oils birds produce, making them perfect for adding a touch of colour and fun to your outdoor space. So, ditch the plastic and embrace the elegance of feathers for an eco-friendly garden transformation.

Nature's Helping Hand:
And let's not forget the feathered friends who call your garden home! Birds naturally shed feathers throughout the year during molting. Leaving these fallen feathers in your garden provides a valuable resource for other birds building nests. Imagine the joy of helping a robin find the perfect feather to cradle its young!
A Final Note:
Remember, when sourcing feathers, consider using feathers you find naturally or purchasing them from reputable craft stores.
With a little imagination, feathers can transform your garden from ordinary to extraordinary. So, unleash your inner artist, embrace the natural world and let the feathers fly!
