Asked a mate (breeder and keeper of 5 species or owls and 4 other species of birds of prey) and he said "just had a look, no owl feathers just loads of male harris feathers".

oh no... thanks for trying though! i really appreciate it!


i can't believe its this hard to get hold of some owl feathers!

and to top it all off some of the craft feathers i ordered as a back up plan arrived today and only 4 out of the pack of 12 were usable! the rest were scruffy and damaged!

Well if you'd have asked in march/april/may/june/july I could've sorted you out a few sacks of feathers from them moulting. lol

i know this sounds grotesque but my grandparents have a stuffed owl and i can't stand looking at it ever.

i'll ask them if you can have it for the feathers and then i'm happy.. and you're happy!

oh no don't do that... old taxidermy items of good quality can be worth a fair bit - especially if they are really old!

Will do, it's not like we have a shortage of them.
