Emu Feather Information

Emu feathers vary in size from less than 1 inch to roughly 18 inches long.  The smaller the feather, the softer.  As the feathers increase in length, they become more straw-like in their feel.  All of  these feathers are double plumed, or have two feathers coming out of the same shaft.  Feather color ranges from a soft off-white to shades of brown and seal. 

There are 1 1/4  pounds of feathers on an adult bird.  Of these, 3/4 to 1 pound are usable for crafts or fashion.
