Parrot Feathers

[Tom Jutras]

I met a women in my shop who owns 14 parrots and a cockatoo. She has been collecting the feathers that molt from her birds for a while. She showed me bags of assorted feathers and colors and asked if I would like to have them for tying. I'm trying to put a value on the feathers to offer her some$$ to help her with the feed bills. I know that the blue and yellow macaw feathers are used for horns on full dressed salmon flies as well as the red. Does anyone know of other patterns that might call for any of these types of feathers? Any idea on the value of the feathers?

Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the info. I never would have thought to look on EBay. I guess there isn't much you can't buy on EBay.
