Body: Medium flat silver tinsel, built up toward the head
Rib: Fine oval silver tinsel
Throat: Small bunch of white hackle fibers, medium length
Wing: Four dyed duck bread feathers, 1/3 as long as the wing and dress and dressed on wing.
Horns: Single fiber from the Blue Macaw tail, 2/3 as long as wing
