SilverCreek 0 Report post Posted May 2 I agree with flytire. They look like body feathers from a ringneck pheasant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted May 4 This is the best I can do at the moment... But I'll be able to post much better pics hopefully by early next week.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalarMan 0 Report post Posted May 4 The colors are a bit too orange, but the feathers remind me of breast feathers from a blue and gold macaw...based on shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chugbug27 0 Report post Posted May 4 The color may be too orange because of my editing for the post... I'll have the feathers in hand soon enough and will post better pics then. Probably early next week... Meanwhile here's an internet pic of the type of feathers you mention.... Good eye! And thanks for your input, you're a veritable fountain of knowledge!

denduke 0 Report post Posted May 4 Looks ducky to me… Fulvous tree duck and black bellied whistler are sometimes harvested in DeepSouth and down Texas way. They both have orange breasts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
