For the ancient Mayas, birds were an integral part of daily life. They used to collect the bird´s feathers and birds were considered messengers of the gods who traveled between the super natural world and the world of men. Quetzal feathers were used as money and only the nobility could use it in their dress. Their feathers were removed only from live birds. Since the quetzal was so valuable to the Maya, any person who killed a quetzal was punished with death.
