Golden Pheasant Center Tail
Kori Bustard
Peacock Wing
Red Macaw
Green and Blue Macaw
Guinea Hen
Bronze Mallard

Have been trying to find a good explanation of how to make this type of wings for a long time. Thanks for sharing it!!

[@flytyingwithrichlamonte]

Your welcome. And thank you for watching!!! This is a general idea of how to make a mixed wing. However I have learned more since this video and have found there are more specific ways to make them. I am still working on perfecting the technique. I will be making another video on it in the future!!!

Where did you get Kori Bustard?

[@flytyingwithrichlamonte]

Kori is hard to get. I order most materials.from Feathers.com. John McLain on occasion gets kori feathers from the kori Bustard Foundation. When he has is, he gives it away to customers as kind of a surprise with their orders. Other than that, I usually find it through people I know and trading material for it. There is usually some on ebay however I don't like buying from places in ebay simply because that can create a market for poachers overseas to kill bustards and illegally import them. Getting kori from places like FeathersMC, the feathers come from birds at zoos and are humanly collected when the birds molt.
