Default Cape for Humungus hackle
OK, I've read various threads on this - Chinchilla, Cree, Grizzle ????

What colour is it - I would have imagined a silver grey barred pattern and a soft texture ?

Also, anyone supplying them ?

Grizzle is my preferred choice in all things Hummungus...

But It's not essential...Cree or Badger is also pretty good.....especially on Gold versions....

I find it best just to buy a cheap genetic cape (longer feathers for your big patterns)

It's not an exact science mate....just make sure you Hummies about 3" have big eyes (booby or bead chain) and are available in White and Silver
Black and Silver
Black and Gold
Grey and Silver
Olive Green and Gold

that always does it for me
