Joanne,
Yes I
see why it sparked attention. It is attractive.
Shape
shows that it is from the mid to right side of the tail of something. The
colour pattern show it to be from a Laughing Kookaburra. Very distinctive and
quite certain.
Historically interesting word use from you. It is by definition
exactly the length of a pen. As "pen" is
of course is a modern use for a writing implement with ink in that pen means
feather, as in pennate or the species name of Falco longipennis (long
feather).

Hi i found this feather in the Eucalypts Forest in Tidbinbilla
yesterday. It's about the length of a pen. Does anyone know what it could belong
to? Cheers, Joanne
