Fate of Feather Fashionistas.
Fashion trends in ladies hats and apparel was devastating for many birds in the late 1800 and early 1900’s. The hunt was on as feathered hats were all the rage. Mass slaughter of birds for plumes, resulted in the endangered survival of birds and the death of young left behind.
These vanity villains, caused the price of feathers by weight to exceed the rate for gold.
Fortunately, feathered fashion fell out of favor when people were made aware of the consequences.
