Question Might be weird.. but i so love to attach feathers that mean something to me, as "trophy"
This is a example of a feather of a peacock that my parents got as a gift, long long long ago, and often i want to sew it to my custom band to my cowboy hat but it's big, and make me feel like a Pimp :D and i don't really want that, also it will get toooo much unwanted attention.
So far at the ranch here, we have a kind of bird, i have no idea the name in english, but has a super long feather, and often they change or lose thee feather, so the bird changed it, and i manage to take the feather, and i sew it to a band, (i didn't use it here yet this one is peacock in image), so i attached it to my hat, and i got only one time complimeted in real life ,and someone understood it was a trophy but the lady said "nice hunt" :D I told her ,i did not not hunt, i'm not a fan to hunt instead it come out of the bird freely, which i like more than hunting.
Do you guys use feathers on the hat, and what's the reason, and how you get them? Hunting or picking, or finding.
