Ostrich Plumes Differences
There is a difference between ostrich feathers and ostrich plumes. So, before you begin your next project, it can be helpful to know a little bit about these differences. This way you choose the one that is perfect for your task. In short, ostrich plumes are the largest and fullest looking of the ostrich feathers and are recommended for creating a full centerpiece.

Different Types of Ostrich Plumes
There are different types of ostrich plumes, and the differences matter a lot depending on what the plumes are going to be used for, such as fashion, decor, dusters, costumes, etc. Let's take a closer look at these different types of Ostrich plumes.
Where the Feather Grows
- Wing plumes: These are the fanciest ones. Long, soft, and very fluffy with a dramatic curve. Ostrich wing plumes are typically used in haute couture, fans, and military dress.
- Tail plumes: These are high-quality, but a bit shorter and rounder than wing plumes. Still very full and elegant however they are used.
- Body feathers: These plumes are smaller, less symmetrical, and not as fluffy. Commonly used for trimming, crafts, or fillers.
Sex of the Ostrich
- Male ostrich plumes: Naturally black and white. The white wing and tail plumes are the most luxurious and valuable.
- Female ostrich plumes: The ostrich plumes that come from female ostriches are usually gray, brown, or off-white. They are softer-looking but less dramatic.
Quality / Grading
Prime or first-grade plumes: These plumes are dense with even fibers, a symmetrical shape, and are very soft. These are the showstoppers.
Lower-grade plumes: Low-grade plumes have thinner shafts, uneven fibers and sometimes minor damage due to these features. They are still useful, just less glamorous than other types of ostrich plumes.
Dyed vs. Natural
Natural colors: White, black, gray, and brown are natural ostrich plume colors.
Dyed plumes: Basically every color imaginable can be dyed. Hot pink, emerald, gold, you name it!
