This is one crazy bird. I got it from a bird farmer out west who said it was barred but left out that it was irridescent from beak to tail. It should be a lifetime supply, being over 2 feet long. The pictures don't fully capture the shimmer, the last is a fly I tied

The example is a 14 standard. It'll go down to midges and up to streamers and everywhere in between. The pictures don't do it justice. The flight feathers go from pink to black/bronze and will make excellent biot bodies.
