Guinea Fowl Feathers

'I used to throw my feathers to waste and now here I am, proud supplier of a caring company like Mulberry Mongoose. Thanks Mulberry team.' - George, local supplier

We source guinea fowl feathers from a network of rural subsistence farmers. Guinea fowl are resistant to most poultry diseases, making them ideal livestock for rural African farmers with very limited financial income and little access to veterinary support. The birds’ nutritional benefits and the sale of eggs and meat are critical income. Many local farmers rely on their bird livestock to pay for basics such as school fees and family medical needs.

We buy over 2000 feathers a year from our network of carefully vetted local farmers. Buying the iconic feathers hugely expands the income earning potential of these birds for their owners.

Once bought our team carefully sort through the feathers selecting the best quality. Huge effort is invested in pairing the feathers to look beautiful in our Guinea fowl and Savannah collections.

Important information: Guinea fowl are both beautiful and robust; they thrive in the harsh environment of the African bush. People don’t realize that, with care, guinea fowl feather jewelry travels well and lasts many years. Click here for our Care Guide.
