White feather

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a chicken feather? It's fluffy and light, right? Well, a white feather is kind of like that, but it's usually bigger and softer.

Sometimes people think that a white feather is special because they believe it's a sign from someone who has passed away. They might find a white feather in a place where there shouldn't be one, like inside their house or car. They might think that the feather was left there by someone they miss, who is trying to let them know they are still around in some way.

Other times, people might see a white feather on the ground and pick it up because it's pretty. They might use it to make crafts or just keep it as a little reminder of something special.

So that's what a white feather is, and why some people think it's important. Do you have any other questions?
