About the Item
When competing desires collide, which one wins?
At the turn of the 20th century, North American bird populations were plummeting, hitting a nadir with the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon and the Carolina Parakeet. One of the leading factors? Hats. High fashion millinery grew so obsessed with feathers that many of the birds we commonly see and love today nearly went the way of the pigeon and parakeet. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act in 1918 made the hunting of migratory birds illegal and is among the oldest and most successful laws in the service of wildlife protection. Our desire for a bird-filled sky trumped our desire to wear them on our heads.
Only certain feathers were valued for millinery and birds were killed by the thousand for just a few feathers each. In 1918, a flock of varied herons, joined by Carolina Parakeets inspired by Audubon, sits perched atop a woman’s head in full splendor: gaudy over-indulgence cast against an optimistic sunrise glow. The woman’s gaze is fixed forward, her face blurred in motion. Progress is never guaranteed. At a time rights we’ve fought long and hard to establish are under attack, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act remains a beacon of hope.
