Question:

Do white feathers fall from the wings of an angel or from a white bird?

Someone recently told me she found a white feather, and took this as the sign that an angel had visited to make things okay. I, ever the cynic, say it came from a white bird. What do you think? And have you heard this saying before?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i haven't heard that saying before, just the 'give me a sign' thing. i guess it's not from an angel, because it's really hard to believe that angels really exist. but every one has their own opinion so. . .
