You can get anywhere from 30 cents to 50 cents a feather depending on the length. Local Florists love them.

Thanx a bunch... our 2 male India Blue have dropped all there feathers.. Is this a normal moulting time?

Not sure on the time but,

I was trying to hatch some out they did not make it but I did get some info before I got started.

Every year the cock birds loose their tail feathers, the hens may continue to lay eggs but they will not be fertile. I know that it is normal for them to loose them, just not sure on when.

ETA,
if you want the guys e-mail addy I can give it to you, he is a HUGE breeder.

It's that time of year! My males are losing their tales. It's like an easter egg hunt on finding the feathers in the yard

Yep.. it is that time of year. Mine has lost most of his feathers. I don't think he knows it as he still tries to display them.
