Feathers is a Gambles Quail who truly loved everyone, working his magic with people who lost their pets, deaf people who heard his quiet chirp in their ear, and showing his charm in the art gallery. He posed for pictures constantly. A true angel.

Oh Feathers you will be so happy to hear that your favorite artist, Ken Rowe, won a1st place award for one of the bronze sculptures that you posed for! In the newspaper article Ken talks about you being his favorite model buddy and that you gave him the inspiration to do the sculpture. It's the bronze with the 3 quail taking off in flight! You remember that one! It's called "High Rise". I will leave a picture for you! Be happy little one!

Good morning sweet boy! I've been thinking of you today and, of course, missing you. It's funny how whenever I am writing you, your last mate Mouse jumps up on my lap! I just took a picture of her and her new mate Jack. You remember him. He's doing a good job taking care of her. Well have fun with all your new friends over there! Kisses on your belly. Mom

How are you doing, dear boy? I've been feeling your presence strongly lately and it makes me feel stronger during my very stressful times here. You always were able to comfort me with your presence. I love you boy!

Oh Feathers I got the message you sent down to me! To see a cloud in the shape of a heart and another in the shape of a lit candle on the day of the 1 year anniversary of your passing was so heartfelt. Thank you dear boy. I love you and still miss you terribly. Mom Mary

Oh Feathers I finally decided to put your still beautiful body to rest in the special box Ken gave for you! I planted a young tree that will flower on top of you. I named the place Feather Park because all the wild quail eat there, the very next day a family of quail came to visit your grave! Your last mate, Mouse is buried right next to you! She missed you so much, now you're together again along with Sweetie your first love.

You are in my thoughts daily. Thank you for watching over the 3 people who had knee surgery that remembered you when you were in the gift shop with me so many years ago! I now know why you left this level to go to the spirit level...to be free to be.of solace to those in need. My little healer bird you. Keep waiting for me! Mom

Well Feather Boy, it's been 4 years since you left. Seems like forever. I know you are doing fine and I see you're working your magic! I talked with Kerry and while we were talking about you she was notified that she made Prosecutor of the Year award! I just knew you had a hand in it!! Do you know she has a picture of you on her work desk? I love you so much boy! I'm getting a rejected chicken next week! Her name is Wink. All the quail say hello to you too! Happy Thanksgiving Feathers!

Hey boy!
Well you'll be happy to know that all my pet quail are being moved to the aviary today! Yes it took me over a year to finish but it's lovely! Also you need to watch for Chipper. He passed yesterday very peacefully. Much love to you sweetheart! Vickie, Jan & Janet say hi!
