Ostrich Marabou

I ordered two colors, black and olive. The olive is nice and very usable. At least half of the black is too stringy for the flies that I'm tying.

I may or may not have a balding pet ostrich who loves these. He may or may not use them as a toupee. Goes to show what high quality feathers they are. Apart from making my ostrich happy I also use them when I wrap nymphs to imitate the abdominal gills.

Great looking feathers. They work great for gills on my caddis nymphs
