How exciting! I love getting tail feathers and whatnot from my birds. I got my first tail feather from Neelix a week or two ago as well. Saving it forever in the feather jar! Now some color will be added to the grey / white / yellow feathers already in it lol.
My favorite is when I find Bunny's crest feathers. I have a couple of containers that I keep feathers in though. I'm pretty sure I have enough feathers in those to make at least one full cockatiel. (They don't come just from Bunny, but occasionally from Zydabird's flock as well.)
I've used the big ones for bookmarks too! The tiel crest feathers (what I call 'hair') are too small though.
I'm glad I saved those cuz now the tiel is a part of Zamion's flock, and doing very well. No more tiel hair for me!
Feathers for bookmarks?! That is a much better idea than my scrap pieces of random paper / paper towels I always end up doing. Since school started up again I'll have to keep a tail feather nearby!
