    If you know of a fishing/hunting shop nearby, it might be worth a visit.

    For Fly Fishing you knot a lod of different materials to a hook to create an imitation of a bug/fly. There are lots of different types of feathers used.

    You could get them on ebay. Like here.

    Or as mentioned go into a fishing shop that sells fly tying materials and they might have it.

    ebay is fine but delivery is about three times the cost of the products in this and many other cases

    €4.22 delivery to your hall floor.

    It's difficult to justify driving around to shops that might not even have the product you want in stock. But go for it.

    probably going to cost more in a shop than on eBay.

    They're the same feathers as the one you linked to in your opening post.

    But anyway, you seem to know what you're looking for. Best of luck with it.
