For those of you who have birds...particularly large poultry...would you mind collecting the feahers they drop for me? I'm making a pair of costume wings, and need large amounts of feathers. The predominant part of the costume is a pair of moving wings which can spread wide, fold closed along my back, flex up and down, and flap forward and back--basically, they can move any way I can move my arms. The wingspan will be about 9 feet from tip to tip. Therefore, I need something in the realm of a thousand feathers. I'll be dying them black, since what I'm collecting right now are vulture feathers that I find under their nighttime roost (I clean them thoroughly of course, to prevent any illness or spread of parasites) and the character I'm dressing up as has black wings.

So! I just need...feathers. Any feathers will do, really. Except possibly for ostrich feathers or peacock feathers, lol.

So...anyone willing to collect them for me? Thanks.

P.s.: Here's a picture of the character I'm dressing as.
