Help! Need a substitute for "brown owl wing" feathers! Haven't a clue what might work, as I've never seen brown owl wings up close and personal!
Betty,
It is not the coloration match which makes finding a substitute for owl so difficult, it is locating feathers with the same very soft and long barbules which allow an own to fly silently.
Sorry, have no close-match substitute to suggest.
Cheers,
Hans W
