Should I Keep the Feathers I Find?

If you keep finding feathers appearing out of nowhere, often in random places, chances are it's a gift from the angels. Different colours are reported as having different meanings, for example, a white feather can be a comforting sign to reassure you that your deceased loved ones are safe and watching over you.

Do you keep feathers when you find them?

The MBTA makes possession of any part of a protected bird—including the feathers—illegal. It doesn't matter how you obtained the feather; it's against the law to even possess one found on the ground.

What to do with the feather I found?

When you first get your feathers, keep them isolated from any other plumes. Put them directly into a freezer that is set at zero degrees Farenheight or -18 Celsius (colder is even better). Leave them in for at least 48 hours. Take them out for a day and then put them back in for another 48 hours.
