Hackle Barbule Tip

Not when you add in the retainer for the divorce attorney.

LOL. How about the woodies in the freezer or the fur in the coffee blender? Cat running around with rabbit skin or Hare's mask? How about dog eating the meat off of a few necks/saddles (Conranch & Whiting) and leaving the feathers all strewn around the room? So many interesting situations, so little humor. Sometimes though, you've gotta just laugh!

I live 28 stories up in a Chicago skyrise. I could just imagine coming home with a chicken, killing it, skinning it out, tacking it up on a board, debugging it with Borax....

Hey Steven,

That's high enough for the smell to disperse and no one will be the wiser, LOL.

Great humor there Alan.

Steven,
Have you tried the dyed CDL capes from Whiting? Not the only source, but here is one

I haven't even seen that. Excellent! Thanks.

You can use permanent marker on the lighter CDL fibers if color is an issue. And you don't have to stop at tailing.

The tip about using a stacker for tailing material, if needed, would work very well with CDL fibers because they are not as webby.
I find that you can usually get them aligned pretty well just by splaying the feather and grasping just the tips before tearing them off the feather stem. However, the stacker would make them perfect.

[Steven]

I can try that I guess. Marker never seems to work on feathers.

Stop by here and any feather on the ground in, and around my birds are free. Bigdaddy rods has been here looking at one time or another..

The chance of you getting away with that are good but I think using songbird feathers found on the ground could be problematic if the DNR wanted to push the issue. I remember hearing about a lady who saved feathers from different songbird and made a picture for Mrs. Clinton and ran afoul of the protected bird folks. I know I discarded a bluebird hit by a car rather than have to explain the blue feathers in a fly.
