Norseman,
Do a google on Veniard's dyes. This is a line of dyes that are used in the fly tying industry, specifically formulated for dying feathers. I have used it with great success, as you can get a huge range of very natural colours. Comes as a powder, and you mix it with water and vinegar. Haven't tried the yellow however, but have created some very nice fletching.

The small liquid bottles of food coloring mixed into a half bottle of rubbing alcohol makes a great dye for feathers.

I'll second the food coloring thing.Works good,cheap but you're limited to red,blue,green and yellow unless you try mixing them up.

Norseman

Good tips...I will try the food coloring.
