Guys
Excuse my ignorance but does peacock herl come in shades other than natural ?
Its too green for my tastes , I want more bronze.

Sorry if this is really basic stuff.

It can be dyed. If you want a nice bronze effect leave it in bright sunlight, but it takes a while.

Depends on where the herl is plucked from the tail feather. The bronze is usally lower down.

Yes. Depends on what they call bronze, could end up more green for you're liking. Once they get you're money,. Best to look and buy from shop or go with reliable supplier with good reputaion.
