I’m currently attending a few different family matters, so progress with Feathers For Native Americans is moving more slowly than I had hoped, but I’m very excited to be taking over this fascinating project, and can’t wait to start interacting more with all you wonderful people who make this program possible!

Thank you,

I want to thank you and tell you I have appreciated all your help and Feather Donations in the past. Without you and your

Bird(s) help many of the Puebloan People’s would not be able to continue their rich Customs and Traditions and participate in their many Ceremonies that require the Parrot, Macaw,Turkey and other exotic feathers that have been provided over the past 35 years.

My only wish is that you will continue on helping Feathers for Native Americans in their endeavors and give them the support as you did for me.

Best health to you and families and take care,

Steven James

As of December 31, 2024, “Feathers for Native Americans” is no longer a 501(c )(3) Nonprofit Organization. This is one of many steps towards my goal of finding another Organization or Individual to take over “Feathers for Native Americans.”
I’ve contacted numerous potential organizations to date without much success. Without someone in place by July 31,2025, “Feathers for Native Americans” will come to an end.
I’m not accepting request for feathers from Native Americans any longer because the current number of request on hand will take about another 6 months to fulfill. While saying all that, I will accept feather donations as usual UNTIL JULY 31, 2025 to fulfill these current request but will NOT be able to send Tax Deductible Receipts any longer,
If you know of someone interested in taking over “Feathers for Native Americans,” please have them contact me for details. Contact info can be found on our “FaceBook” page or on our Website under: “feathersfornativeamericans.com”
Your help and support over these many years has been greatly Appreciated. The Millions of feathers you donated has Blessed many, many Puebloan Native American families and enabled them to continue their rich Customs and Traditions for which you should be very proud. While the number of Saved Wild Parrots & Macaws can’t be counted, illegal Wildlife Trade has decreased in the USA greatly in the past 35 years that I have been donating feathers to our Native Americans.
Thanks so much for all you have done,

World Rainforest Day was June 22,2023.

Explore your connections to rainforests around the globe

World Rainforest Day has come and gone for another year. It recognizes the importance of safeguarding rainforests for future generations; however it’s not widely recognized.

Tropical rainforests are stunning places. They support half of the world’s biodiversity. They’re found in just a few regions, such as the Amazon, the Congo River Basin in Africa, and Indonesia. The variety of birds stands out visually — from the rainbow feathers of the Scarlet Macaw to the fantastic iridescence of the Keel-Billed Toucans.

The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. The Amazon rainforest, which includes parts of nine countries and covers nearly 40% of South America, accounts for just over half the primary forests found across the tropics.
The scale of the Amazon extends beyond its forest cover. The Amazon Basin has the world's largest river. While there is some debate over the world's longest river, there is no doubt that the Amazon River is the largest river: it carries more than five times the volume of the Congo or twelve times that of the Mississippi.
The Amazon is thought to house more than half the world’s “uncontacted” tribes living in voluntary isolation from the rest of humanity. There have been hundreds of Indigenous tribes living there for millenniums and up until the past hundred years or so kept the Amazon in check and thriving. Unfortunately, Deforestation and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking have devastated the lives of mankind, flora, fauna and fungi, throughout the Amazon.

The relationship between people and rainforests runs deep. Indigenous communities continue to steward large areas of rainforests, and these ecosystems store roughly 40 percent of the world’s carbon, keeping it out of the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. So keeping rainforests healthy means keeping people and wildlife safe too, not only in the Amazon but worldwide.

Many populations of the beautiful birds in the Amazon are at peril and are heading into extinction. By donating Parrot and Macaw molted feathers we can make a difference. See our Website and read the Blog article “The Amazon Connection April 2023” for more details.

Thank You for your all your help in saving these beautiful Birds.

Today is Memorial Day. We honor those who died while in service of this nation. We visit their graves, attend Memorial Day ceremonies, and thank their families. We thank surviving veterans around us and their families too.

Today we express our gratitude to our fallen heroes. Thank you to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice
