Just wait till he gets hooked on tying those pretty streamers,right Peter
Charles. I am looking forward to the pictures of some of those made with
those
strange materials to which we do not have access..


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)
