Any advice on where to get the best deals on getting feathers for crafting? I am looking for various hackle/ rooster muti-colored dyed feathers, large pheasant feathers, and various colored peacock feathers...and maybe other types...but wondering if anyone here has had good experiences with service, quality feathers and good pricing with some recommended companies?? And also what are average price ranges or other tips to look for when looking for feathers?
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!

I've learned not to be surprised by eBay - not after seeing people selling jars of air.

It's wholesale so you need to find a tax id and a busy-ness name to buy but you can log in and browse around. It's my dream come true world of fluff and feather. HAVE FUN
