Default Identification

Hey folks, looking for a bit of help. I have a few of these feathers, in different colours. I'm assuming there all died none of them look natural.

Looking for someone to identify the bird if possible... Cheers

That's what I had thought, but some of these feathers are 5-6 inches. Is that normal?
