Most
repository feathers come from rehab, foster and education birds, that live at
the wildlife sanctuary, when they naturally molt once a year in the summer.
There are containers in the front of each cage where volunteers can place
feathers for the repository. Other sources are ICU birds that come to Liberty
deceased or die despite treatment. Liberty Wildlife's participation in the
feather repository program is ultimately to save birds lives. If Native
Americans have the necessary feathers, they have no need to hunt healthy birds.
Why are you
in our enclosure taking our feathers?
The feathers
are then organized and their exact location is documented.
Whole birds
are kept frozen until their feathers can be taken or if someone requests a
whole bird.
