Bird Feathers Symbolic Significance

Indigneous cultures have different cultural traditions and meanings for birds.

     A sign or symbol is only as important as it is to the one who is experiencing it - what does it mean to you personally? How does it fit into your current life situation?  Generally speaking, feathers to me symbolize prosperity, peace, beauty, Spirit, release and new opportunities. Observing bird behavior is the best way to discover their gifts.

     Here is a brief list of their significance based on my personal interactions and observations.

All feathers are from unharmed molting pets or federally approved.

Amazon Parrot: Patience, respect, expression and forgiveness as taught to me by my own Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot.

Canary/Parakeet:  Companionship, power of song and voice.

Cockatoo:  Friendship and healthy relationships.

Duck:  Balanced emotions, compassion and protection.

Guinea:  Knowing one's boundaries, loyalty and family.

Macaw Parrot:  Spiritual illumination, healing through light and color.

Peacock:  Transcendence, self-assurance, protection and inner vision.

Pheasant:  Beauty, grace and romance.

Rooster:  Spiritual awakening, pleasure and fun.

Turkey:  Eagle of the earth, gratitude and sharing abundance.

Friendship Feathers and Ornaments on Decorative Tree.

Alicia's artistry crafting feathered earrings is quite unique.

Long bohemian, short and sassy and everything in between - her sytle is unique.

One- of-a-kind pairs resemble flowers or butterflies.

Feathers have always been associated with freedom, transcendence and communication with spiritual realms.

Over the years, Alicia's Fans have been displayed in many stores throughout the SF Bay Area. When asked why Carlos Santana bought so many he replied, "I like to support local artists and give them as gifts to my musician friends".
