The Peacock: This is one of natures most vibrantly beautiful birds on Gods green earth! They are much admired for the awesomeness of their tail feathers and the size that their tails spread to.

Many Americans get the eagle, or their feathers, tattooed on themselves for reasons of national pride. My fourth tattoo, placed in the small of my back, is an eagle with outstretched wings, clutching the American flag in its talons. Eagle feathers are also quite symbolic of the Native American people who respected this regal and majestic bird.
The Owl: This bird is often connected with thoughts of death. However, in some parts of the world they, and their feathers, are considered to be good luck charms.
