Have
you really ever noticed the beauty of a turkey? Their beautiful feathers have produced splendiferous fashion elements. Check
out this beautiful turkey-feather dress produced by Jenna Lynn Utter.
Turkeys are also responsible for one of fashion’s most enticing and ‘fun to wear’
accessories: the feather boa. And turkey feathers are used to make the costume
for your friend and mine, Big Bird.
A
turkey can see in color, so they must be smart and sensitive! The Cornell
Ornithology Lab says the turkey showcases ‘very long, powerful legs’...and
turkey was the first meal eaten by Neil Armstrong on the moon! Who knew the
turkey was so sensational?
Benjamin Franklin may have had it right when he argued for the
turkey as the United States' national bird. And you might
begin to see why the President pardons one or two of the birds every
Thanksgiving. We must be making a national gesture: thanking the turkey for the
very lean meat it provides us year round, and its other fantastic
contributions.
Here
at Color Buzz, we make it practice to recognize and celebrate the beauty of
nature. Consider the beautiful color palette of a turkey feather.
Turkey feathers range from
domesticated white feathers to beautiful blacks, emerald greens and browns.
When you are decorating for holiday guests or selecting an ensemble, consider
celebrating the beauty of the turkey this season.
Warm
wishes of a Happy Thanksgiving from the team at Color
Buzz!
