Pheasant Tail Feathers

Perfect for High Fashion and Carnivals

Pheasant tail feathers have beautiful shapes and markings and can be dyed any color conceivable.  The long, slender, and pointed-tip feather is very distinctive.  In the past, these beautiful tail feathers had been worn by the Aztec’s for ceremonial costume purposes as well as many other cultures throughout history.  In America, we have adopted these strong, symmetrical tail feathers as beautiful decorations in our homes and fashion, as well as, using them for the runway and costuming purposes such as those worn at Mardi Gras celebrations.

How to choose the perfect pheasant tail feathers…

Feathers- Pheasant tail feathers are the most popular feathers represented at the pre-lent celebration.  From centerpieces and batons to masks and fans, feathers are an important item used in decorations and Mardi Gras costuming.  Royal colored feathers such as red, purple, green and gold will be vibrant accompaniments to your parade-wear.  A top hat with a super long pheasant tail feather accent or pheasant feather jewelry will be simple additions that will take an ordinary outfit to parade-ready garb.

Colors- Although there are many bright colors to be seen during Mardi Gras, the traditional colors are in their natural brown and black with beautiful pattern on the feather.  Purchase these feathers in bulk matching the customary colors to create your own decorations.  Whether you wear a Mardi Gras costume or everyday clothing, be sure it consists of the common event hues.

Costume- Masks such as those worn at a Masquerade Ball, as well as, fanciful pheasant feathered headdresses made with small pheasant plumage feathers are popular items to be worn at a Mardi Gras celebration.  Some enthusiastic parade goers dress in full body costumes which resemble Kings, Queens, Popes, and Jesters.
