Peacock Feathers

I have about 30-40 peacock tail feathers..and a half dozen or so swords...i am thinking of stripping off the herls (sp?) and tossing the quills. If anyone wants some, let me know.

I'd love a few hearls, thanks for the offer.

When you say quills, are you talking the black/white spotted feathers? I'm not interested in the green swords or eyes, but I love the spotted feathers (not sure where on a peacock). But the look like a standard feather and are black and white. I think I still have some, if I do will try and post a pic.

Yes I am talking about the eyes and swords.......I don't know anything that would be black and white, maybe the wing feathers? Never seen em so don't know.

Actually, am not sure where on the peacock they are located. They may be underwing feathers. Not sure. But there are a black and white spotted feather on them. A quill type feather. May just have to buy from shops. Dang it.
