As we are now eating quail once a week or so I seem to be stock piling feathers. They are just too pretty to throw away!

I now have a couple of bags of mixed feathers in the freezer. Quail, rooster, chicken, turkey and duck.

Hubby is beginning to think I'm a bit odd (well, odder than usual that is

) but I just cant seem to throw them away.

Do any of you do anything interesting with your feathers?
 
I have made earrings out of feathers before.. Another thing you could try, offer them for sale or give away to ferret owners. You can put them in a dry kiddie pool and the ferrets have a ball playing in them
 
Might make a good pillow, or jacket stuffing. You could also try to use it asbedding for a drop pan or something.

Crappie Jigs

.............. The #1 Crappie lake in the nation is right here in my back door (literally). Crappie fishin' has been a passion of mine for over 30 years, and I tie my own jigs with everything from Buck Tail to Christmas Tree tinsel. The Bobwhite feathers with the stripes in them make a bomb of a jig

Thank you all so much for the ideas!

I always thought fly tiers wanted things like jungle foul hackle feathers, not just ordinary feathers, no mater how pretty they are?
