wood pigeon/wood pigeon feathers wanted

[myotis]

Maybe a slightly strange request but I'm looking for the neck (cape) of a wood pigeon to use the feather for fly tying ( a bit of an experiment).

Is there anyone on here that could help me out with this.

Either in terms of the cape itself, or I would happily buy a couple of birds from someone for eating, if that seemed the most equitable way of doing a deal. Or open to other suggestions.

Probably useful if it was close to Wells in Somerset so I could collect, but again open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Graham,

You may well be able to buy some prepared birds from your local butcher.

Thanks, but I don't really see butchers with birds hanging up anymore. I suspect the majority buy them in ready dressed, if they sell pigeon at all. But I confess I haven't looked yet.

My farm shop sells frozen pigeon so I could try and track down who supplies them, but I thought that I would give it a shot on here first.
