The tail feathers of the sakabula bird were very popular with Zulu warriors for use in their head-dress. Plenty of images on Google, I expect.

You cracked the feathers (and the leopard skin)

PS: after several experiments I think I've given up on using real feathers as well... apologies to you and Geoff for leading us all down a blind alley
