Birds of a feather do flock together. Problem is you can't tell them apart.

Fly out of formation with a Bethany Lorelle feathery headpiece.

Made by hand, the pieces are a nod to '40s glamour with vintage findings like buttons to anchor the plumes.

Bethany (Lorelle) Moritz crafts the hairpieces at her St. Paul studio. She's an actress who has appeared in local productions of "Les Miserables." She is currently focusing full-time on her accessories collection.

It is Earth Day and she uses feathers sourced from someone who deals in only free-fallen feathers.

We wouldn't want to ruffle any you-know-whats.
