Emu feathers

[Ray Kunz]

What is a substitute for Emu feathers that I've seen called for in some recipes? Visually they seem to be like a very large ostrich herl.

You could use aftershaft feathers,you know,the "other" feather under all pheasant body feathers. They have a nice taper,and are very fluffy. CJ

I have some of her superb rhea feathers. Very close cousin of the emu. They might just be what you are looking for.

Cheers,
