Yeah, me too! I've already been hoarding lots of feathers for that.
African
Grey tail feathers (actually, available in many fly shops, but I find them
on the ground), some wonderful fluorescent blue feathers from a tiny local
bird, some iridescent white wing feathers from a local blackbird thing,
and
some hair from all sorts of critters (wildebeests, kudu, bushbuck, wild
boar, zebra, giraffe, elephant tail, etc)

You should try to get some antelope. It is one of the best hairs for tying.
Some of it is extremely buoyant, and perfetc for spinning etc. Other stuff
works well for winging etc.
