Feathers for Helmets

[Robert]

Given the fact that the feathers would be an addition to the overall appearance, feathers of a fierce origian may be called for. Buzzards are common, pretty large birds, nice feathers, certainly tail and upper wing. But perhaps a hawk has the more fearsome reputation, buzzards are known for eating carrion and preying on mice and grasshoppers :-) Crow, well, better raven, but both get a bad rap .... Unless you are a Viking, then raven would be great.
