feathers for hair is wreaking havoc on the fly tying industry.
so I've heard...and SEE...prices seem to be going up as well.
The worst part about it, is when the fad dies, all the breeders will be left with an excess of roosters and feathers, that they are scrambling to breed right now.

I remember wearing roach clips with feathers dangling from them in the 80s.
I usually save the nicer looking feathers I find from my birds. I never have done anything with them.

You know, take it from a feather collector... unless you treat the feathers with something, after a while they STINK.

You should just collect the feathers, say "screw you" to the personal hair style fad, and start selling to fishing fly makers. :p

i do know folks who tie their own fishing flies are REALY upset by this new trend though cause there buying up all the feathers the they use for their fly making!
OK, this is too good a typo to pass up! Whose fathers are you putting in your hair? :plbb :hide
