Gray Heron |
The Heron feathers we offer come from a bird that is very plentiful in the world. They are not listed on the Migratory Birds Conventions Act (Canada) and are legal to purchase and posses under Canadian law. Gray Heron is also not on the CITES List (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). Under International law they are completely legal to import. We have sent these feathers to customers in over 25 different countries. Unfortunately though, the Gray Heron is protected in the United States under The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (USA). Because of this our Gray Heron is not available to our US friends. |
If you have ever tied with Heron substitutes like Rhea or Blue Eared Pheasant, you will quickly notice how much better the original is. We are very happy to have found not only one, but two different species of heron feathers. Our heron that we have been offering to tyers over the past few years has easily been our best selling plume. We know that our new Gray Heron will be a hit too. It has the same great look as our regular heron but it is even bigger, perfect for tubes and larger hooks. Many of the Extra Large Grey Heron feathers measure over 10 inches in total length! |
The Extra Large Gray Heron is so big that you can palmer a three inch long tube (above) from the back , all the way to the front, and still have enough for a few wraps at the collar. The three inch of tube covered was tied with only one of these fantastic plumes! |
