Looking For Source

[rookie]

I am looking for Mallard flank feathers in a medium to little darker blue. Would anyone happen to know of a source? Someday I may try my hand at dying but now is probably not the best time.

Your help is appreciated.
thanks

rookie,

Try dyeing some with Kool Aid flavor "Blue Moon Berry".

Just prepare the feathers by soaking them in a dish detergent for an hour and rinse. Boil 2 cups of water and dissolve a packet of the Kool Aid. Wait about a minute and then put the feathers in the dye. Watch and when they are the shade you want, remove and rinse. Air dry.
