Left or right?
« on: December 10, 2014, 02:01:36 pm »
I'm going to sort, bag and label my feathers. I get them in bulk from a turkey farm. Can you tell me from the picture which is left or right. The quills are groove side up.

I though I had it the other way but I've never pulled a feather out of a turkey ;D

Right right, left left. Imagine them hooked to a birds wing.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

The bottom is facing up so it's opposite.
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

That's why I laid them out like that but I just needed confirmation.

The leading edge is always more narrow, that's another way to identify. Trailing feathers are longer of the quill.
