77: The Feather Thief Part 2: Walter Rothschild, Feather Fever, and the start of the Audubon Society
from Birds of a Feather Talk Together · host John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, Amanda Marquart
Part two of our Feather Thief mini-series! This week we cover chapters on Walter Rothschild’s infamous museum, the fashion madness known as "feather fever," which drove people to decimate millions of rare and exotic birds. Then we’ll explore the aftermath—how a group of determined women, appalled by the devastation, sparked a movement to protect birds, culminating in the founding of the Audubon Society. We are doing a mini-series that will break down parts of the book, and to sum it all up will be talking with the author Kirk Wallace Johnson.
