are any feathers such as pigeon or turkey feathers any good for tying or do they have to be feathers that have their own water repellent.. dont know any thing about it but was curious, I have bags of pigeon feathers from back when I was doing pest control on a hog farm, had the brilliant idea of using them for wind indicators hanging off my recurves/longbows.. worked great for that but have enough to last 10 lifetimes.
