At Feathergirl we are very proud to provide a high quality product at a very reasonable price. We are always increasing our product range and we welcome requests from you. If there is something you would like that we don't have listed, please just contact us and tell us how we may help you.
We store our feathers in a naturally controlled, pest free environment to ensure that there is no damage to the feather other than what occurs in the wild. We sort our feathers by hand when we get them and again when we pack them, sending you only the best we can offer.
The loose feathers we sell are represented below by a general picture that best represents the selection.
If you are serious about feathers we suggest you buy our Feather Sampler. The Feather Sampler contains examples of our loose feather range.
By having the sampler you will see each of the feathers before you buy them so you buy only the feathers you actually want. The book contains samples of 32 different feather categories, some with multiple feathers.
For a purchase price of $20 you will receive the Sampler and a $10 credit towards your next purchase.
Our loose feathers are all sold in $10 lots; for $10 pack you will get one of the listings below. In our shop you can select multiple packs of the same, or different packs of feathers.
