text: what is the effect of keeping peacock feathers at home?   the looks of them. they are fluffy and colorful. it would be nice too have the real thing, but i understand they crap a lot and make one hell of a squawk. they are great for covering holes in the wall too. it was in vogue during the 60s to have one over the couch.  i remember those years as very odd.  pictures of children with giant eyes! weird stuff.
