    1. Apparently peacocks would shed their feathers after every mating season but I don’t know that’s how every seller pick up the feathers. Compared to feathers in consumer products, peacock feathers are very limited and used mostly for worshipping purposes in India. So, I believe certain consideration would have been exercised. Thanks for your query and comments, Deb. Cheers.🙏😊
