Birds and feathers are symbolic in most cultures of the world. The dove has symbolised peace, the phoenix is associated with regeneration or rebirth. Birds are often seen as messengers, indeed, pigeons have been used for this very purpose. Feathers have been, and still are, used to adorn ourselves. Think, too, of some of our common phrases: birds of a feather flock together, a feather in your cap, as light as a feather, feather-brained, you could have knocked me down with a feather, feather your nest.
