Years ago, my wife decided that she liked peacock feathers as a decoration placed in a flower vase. After reading these posts, I examined them and found they have all turned the ideal bronze color. The secret ingrediant may be time. They are not in direct sunlight but have been have been exposed for over 15 years. Maybe we should all be setting out feathers to use in our later years!

I mentioned to my wife that if she ever tired of her decoration not to throw them out!
