While we wait for sanity to prevail as REE says, you can sell all your saddles for hair salons then simply tie flies without hackle.
Franz Pott (1877-1956), a Montanan made woven flies that used the weaving material as wings.

Just a thought as you sell your saddle feathers for $2.50 each
ps: they want the really long feathers
