Got Spare Feathers?

BIRBLR! I found this really cool Facebook group through a mutual friend. https://www.facebook.com/groups/848166298569126/ Here’s what it’s about:

This group’s purpose is to receive and distribute donated feathers from Companion Birds, for free to traditional Native Americans. The feathers will be dispersed to craftsmen who make & give away items to be used in Native American church, blessings, naming of babies, or to be utilized as accessories in the circle of powwows. Macaw, Parrot, Asiatic Parakeet, Cockatoo are some of the feathers needed. Items made from these are fans, hair pieces, & adornments for sacred items. It is up to a 7 year wait for Native Americans to receive Eagle, Hawk, & Falcon feathers from the Federal Fish & Wildlife service, but the need for feathers to make and use for ceremonial purposes is there daily.  This is a great way for your companion bird to be honored. All feathers prior to use are blessed, praying for good feelings, good thoughts. This is done with all feathers, eagle, hawk, falcon, anhinga, scissortail, flicker, as well as donated companion bird feathers.   None of the donated feathers will be sold, bartered nor traded. This is a requirement of the person requesting feathers from the Feather Depot.

So that’s an awesome and important use for feathers you might just have laying around. I don’t know much about Native American culture, but from the posts it sounds like these feathers would have significant meaning to the people they went to. My girls are mostly too small except tail feathers (which usually come out mangled), but those with larger birds might enjoy knowing that their feathers are being cherished. Here are some photos from the group: 

( here is a fan used in church made from about 60 or so ringneck feathers… or some other asiatic parakeet )

( This is how we keep our items made out of feathers when not in use. An aromatic cedar box.. some are made specifically to fit our fans… )

types of nap, ranked by me (an experienced napper)

the siesta: the oldest and most reliable form of nap! you go to sleep around noon. you wake up an hour or two later feeling well-rested and prepared to face the rest of the day. this is the pinnacle of nap perfection. 10/10

the businessman’s nap: you have a limited amount of time on your hands, so you schedule a nap into your packed timetable and set an alarm. you spend half the duration of the nap worrying that you’re wasting valuable nap time by lying awake, and the other half sunk into a torpor so deep that when your alarm rings, it takes you a good few minutes to remember your own name. once you’ve splashed some cold water on your face you feel much better. 7/10

EW STICKY: you were cold at first, so you piled on the blankets and wriggled into your favourite comfy sweater. this was nice. now you are awake and trapped in a horrible sweaty gordian knot of your own devising. this is not nice. when you peel off the sweater you find to your horror that you have left an actual damp patch behind on the bed, like some sort of giant dead fish that can’t stop leaking its gross fish juice everywhere. 5/10 it was at least cosy to start with

the interrupted nap: someone barges into your room and starts talking to you. “wtsfhggl?” you enquire. they give you a judgemental look, and ask why you are sleeping in the middle of the day. “ghhfshsxkls,” you reply, graciously. they tell you to get up. you get up. the rest of the day feels like an extension of whatever dream you are having before you were disturbed. you boil with quiet resentment and shame. 4/10

the unsuccessful nap: you are tired. you want to take a nap. you lie down. you wait. you wait. time moves sluggishly forwards. you wait. your brain feels like a cup of mushy porridge but your eyes refuse to close. the noise of your fan is infuriating. you wait. eventually, you are forced to accept that this nap is simply not going to happen, and you have wasted 45 minutes doing absolutely nothing. god fucking dammit. 2/10

the handy-dandy fast-forward button: you really just want this day to be over as soon as possible, and the best way you can think of to do that is to take a nap. you only meant to sleep for an hour, but when you wake up it is already evening. the day is over. you glean no satisfaction from this. you kill time until you feel justified in going back to bed again, and spend the rest of the night tossing and turning, unable to sink back into the blissful stupor from which you so recently emerged. 0/10

The Unpleasantness: when you fall asleep, it is dark. when you awaken, it is light. this is the natural order of sleep, but perverted into a form that is frightening and wrong. you feel deeply unsettled and do not know why. are you sick? what does time mean? what does anything mean? maximum despair. -1000/10.

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

They found that the bat noises are not just random, as previously thought, reports Skibba. They were able to classify 60 percent of the calls into four categories. One of the call types indicates the bats are arguing about food. Another indicates a dispute about their positions within the sleeping cluster. A third call is reserved for males making unwanted mating advances and the fourth happens when a bat argues with another bat sitting too close. In fact, the bats make slightly different versions of the calls when speaking to different individuals within the group, similar to a human using a different tone of voice when talking to different people. Skibba points out that besides humans, only dolphins and a handful of other species are known to address individuals rather than making broad communication sounds. The research appears in the journal Scientific Reports.
