Grey Peacock Pheasant
Males are perfect gentleman, when they find something good to eat, they pick it up, only to drop it - again and again, all the while making a "feeding clucking" call. This "tid-bitting" immediatly gets the hens attention and as she approaches he goes into full display. He's certainly no dumby!
Polyplectron bicalcaratum
Tying with Grey Peacock Pheasant Feathers
This is a very popular bird with artistic salmon tiers. The size variety offers many uses such as tail veilings, sides, cheeks and whole feather wings.
Feathers from this bird were used to tie Five Easy Pieces by Paul Schmookler in rare and Unusual Vol.1.
Body feathers make great throats on salmon and steelhead fishing flies. I didn't list any here yet, but if you're interested, please contact me.

Eyed body feathers
These are perfectly matched center tail feathers, both coming from the same bird. The feathers are graded on barb length which ranges from 2" to 3". Please indicate if you'd prefer a tan or white pair.

Side Tail Feathers
There are seven sets of side tails on an Am-gold. The longest are actually longer than the center tails, while the shortest are only about 3 inches long. The barb lengh on the longest tails are long and the pattern makes for some interesting flies.

Full Skin
This bird was in full feather, no pin feathers, chipping or damage. Had the head not been damaged it would have made a nice mount.

Full Skin
This is probably the largest Grey I've ever come across. It is an older breeder and the feathers are in perfect shape. Truley a specimen more in line for a collector rather than be used for tying.
