Hey GreatBear
Sorry I cant help you right now , unfortunately I just chopped up a collection of nice barred Buzzard feathers to make some primitive flu flu arrows ,which is a real pain as now I only have one big barred Buzzard primary and 1 or 2 good Owl feathers left and now need more myself to make the rosettes and drop peaces off a warbonnet. But good luck with your search, I'm sure a lot o dudes here collect too, but It will probably be Autumn before I can help you or me.

I had a look in my budgie cage over the weekend and turned up these. The largest is 7cm [ish] long so maybe too small. How about going to your local pet shop maybe get parrot feathers etc.

If these are of any use give me your address and I'll happily post them. They don't seem to lose feathers too regularly but I can collect more as/ when I find them if you want.
