Which feathers are you after? There is a big variation of feathers on a bird.

And do you get the roast with that?

I like the use of the word lurking that is definitely what peacocks do! "Lurking" sounds almost sinister.

I'm in North Waikato. I wouldn't have a clue how many feathers on a bird - sorry! I'm using the longer brown ones and short dark brown. The last lot I got had cream feathers too and I'm using those also. You can probably tell I'm not a hunter. I'm a wuss with a gun lol

Can you dye them?

So if your shooting you only get the original colour?no dying
