Pigeon Feathers Take Flight as NYC Souvenir

If you're looking for something out-of-the-ordinary as a memento of your time spent in our fair city, something that goes beyond t-shirts and shot glasses, then step right up - we've got just the gift for you! We are selling genuine pigeon feathers - plucked from the streets of New York and sold as one-of-a-kind NYC souvenirs!

The feathers as NYC souvenir are the brainchild of Alyssa Zygmunt who works as a fashion designer by day, collector and crafter by night. She has collected feathers from all over the city, cleaned and then sealed them in test tubes with an identification tag listing the species and precise location of where the feather was found. The reaction to our feathers has certainly been visceral - people are either left speechless or think they're the greatest idea and can't wait to give them to their friends and family. We happen to be of the latter and want to share with everyone we know!
