Go to a craft store or craft department and get a pack of multicolored "Indian Feathers" used for kids' Indian headdresses and other art projects. They are matched duck quills that are dyed in different colors. There should be a large size feather pack (large feathers) and a small size feather pack (small feathers). About as cheap as you can get and they work great .
