BUY OSTRICH FEATHERS
An ostrich feather or plume is easily recognized, and is unlike any other bird's feathers. They
are unique, because they are symmetrical and measure in size from five to thirty inches. Feathers
are graded according to size, weight, and shape, and can also be dyed. The male ostrich has black
feathers on its body, with large white feathers, or plumes, on its wings and tail. The female has
only gray brown, or drabs, on its entire body.
Ostrich feathers have a wide variety of uses. They are made into feather dusters, and in fashion
accessories, such as boas, hats, clothes, mardi gras masks, and shoes. Las Vegas showgirls have
frequently worn ostrich plumed head pieces. The drabs and plumes, used alone or with flowers,
make beautiful centerpieces for your home, office, or wedding celebration. The automobile industry
is even using the feathers as electrostatic cleaners in cars, because the feathers leave no dust
and eliminate static electricity.
