Where to buy large quantities of feathers

Spoiler:

Hey guys ^^;

I'm cosplaying Gwen ( pic above ) for Welly comp, and I'm a little stuck on where to buy large batches of multicolored feathers .__.;; and I'll need quite a few, as I've made her wings open and close, so need to cover both sides.

Icarus gave me this site- http://www.rainbowfeathers.com/loosefeathers.htm but I've been emailing them for over a month now, and no reply ( they shouldn't still be on holiday, right?? ^^; ) so I'd like to see if there's a more reliable website out there, or even a place in New Zealand!

Ebay is also an option, and I've bookmarked a few sellers with feathers, but it's a last resort at this stage.

So, anybody know of a place that sells feathers?

TradeMe sometimes has feathers, but I assume they are expensive compared to other places. $2 shop feathers? :PPPP

Try Spotlight, I sure I saw some on my last visit there, Craft stores are the best bet

Hmm, I've tried craft stores and Spotlight, but they just sell the little fluffy feathers ^^ I'm looking for goose feathers/ or larger.
But I've only tried in Napier and Palmy, so will explore other cities at some point.

And thanks Tammy! I have looked at some of those sites Very Happy

I don't think the Spotlight here has feathers, either. I occasionally walk past the aisle and it only has small ones in small quantities.

If you don't mind an overseas store these guys sell 17cm Turkey feathers, they also do special orders if you are looking for something specific + there shipping is cheap cpmpared to a lot of others.
