Ostrich spads is another type of Ostrich Feather (like Ostrich Drabs & Ostrich Plumes). Ostrich Spads are typically more expensive then drabs & plumes. They are not as nice or as full looking as the Ostrich Drab feather or the Ostrich plume feather.
In most cases where ostrich spads are used as an alternative to drabs or plumes, the feathers are steamed heavily, and trimmed with a scissors to give it the look of a long drab feather. Ostrich spad feathers are usually available in sizes ranging from 18 to 28 inches.
