Arrow Looking for FEATHERS!

I am looking for feathers - A variety of Peacock feathers or Rooster feathers - preferably feathers that have been shed naturally. If anyone has some either willing to give away or at a low price I would be very interested.
Thanks - Harleystyle

I could probably send some peacock feathers. Do you want the whole thing? Suggestions as to the best way to ship them?

That would be great! Can you tell me a little more about their feathers. I have some of the long tail feathers so I know what they look like - but do they shed any other feathers?
As far as shipping them if you could find a longer box - you could cut the ends off (the quill?) I wouldn't use that part anyhow because of the thinkness.
I would be happy to paypal you the $ or send you a check witchever you prefer.
Thanks!

Well, Elton is your average Peacock. He drops tail feathers from time to time. I haven't seen any of his other feathers around though. In the fall his entire fan will fall out, so you could have more later if you like. I can only keep so many!
PM me your mailing address, I can't imagine shipping being more than a couple of dollars.

If you can find them the tube would be the best way to ship peacock feathers. The tubes are what large house plans and documents are mailed in so they don't get crushed.

The feathers you are looking for for the hair styles are in large but cheap quantities at Hobby Lobby & Michaels.
