Florican bustard Tails married wing feathers rare

Starting Bid :$99.00
Bids : 1
Winning Bid :$99.00


Description:
This auction is for one pair of tail feathers from a florican bustard. Not many people have this type of feather from this bird. Nicely matched as they come from a taxidermy specimen.

History of Florican Bird:
Some Indian bustards are also called Floricans. The origin of the name is unclear. Jerdon writes in his bird of India (1862)
I have not been able to trace the origin of the Anglo-Indian word Florikin, but was once informed that the Little Bustard in Europe was sometimes called Flanderkin. Latham gives the word Flercher as an English name, and this, apparently, has the same origin as Florikin.
—Jerdon's Birds, 2nd ed. ii. 625.
