Wanted: white peacock feathers
« on: June 10, 2016, 12:55:28 pm »
I am looking to buy some white peacock feathers, and am using this site, as I want to be sure that the feathers have moulted naturally and been collected, rather than buy feathers which may have involved cruelty to the peacocks. I was advised that this could be possible via this site. Many thanks.

Hi [member=161403]Rowena[/member]


How many do you need, and how urgently?  We have a few white feathers we collected last year that you could have now, plus a big bunch of the regular coloured ones.


I'm afraid the rest are all still attached to Mr White, though once he starts dropping them in another month or so, I can easily gather up the cleanest ones and post them down to you in return for some beer money!  :thumbsup: .


Be aware that the white feathers aren't just white versions of standard peacock feathers though. As you may be able to see from the attached pics, most of them don't have the same fluffy bits on the feather skeleton, so they look a bit sparser than standard peacock feathers. This may or may not be relevant to what you want to do with them, but I thought I'd best say.


Cheers,

Womble.

Yes, he's great. Lovely temperament as well  :thumbsup: .


He tends to roost in one of the trees over the road past our house. In car headlights it looks as though somebody's wedding dress has got blown up into the branches!  ;D
