MIne love peacock feathers but they need a human on one end  >:(

They make most of money from postage on low value items cos ebay fees are so high now!

The feathers are probably sent in a tube which is why they cost a bit more than normal postage.

BTW don't you have a local butcher near you who could provide you with a few "fresh" pheasant feathers.  My local butcher regularly has game hanging outside and I often flutter my eyelashes at him and get a couple of nice tail feathers for the babies to play with  ;)
In ancient times cats were worshiped as gods; they have not forgotten this.

I hear peacock feathers are good
Cats are like little bundles of razor blades wrapped in soft fur.

Maybe the pheasant brings them himself - he'll weigh a pound or two, y'see!   ;)
