Anyone ever used peacock feathers for a flu flu or something?

I don't know about flu flus but they make great flies for fly fishing.

Flamingo feathers work great according to the article I just read!

First arrow I ever made had peahen feather fletching. I put a .38 case on the front and painted it black, for shooting crows. We had about five peafowl around the barn down in Chesapeake, and I used to gather the feathers. The cock's wing feathers are a wonderful chestnut color, and I gotta line up a source for them.

Made a headdress out of peahen tail feathers, too.   :D
Uh, make that two... this is the second one. The first one had horns.
