Description
After a long time two painted feathers
I am sorry for the quality of the photo, it´s not a problem of my camera, it´s in me 
Well, what´s important... these feathers will be available for sale in Pilsen ZOO and the money from them will help endangered Walden´s hornbills (you can see one on the left feather). And now, I would like to ask you a question: How much money would you give for each of these feathers, if you found theme somewhere in the shop? Would you even buy them? I need your real opinion, how much real money would you really give - it´s very important for me, so thank you!

Depending on the picture/detail/feather size. Anywhere between $15 - $30.
Sorry to ask, but what paints do you use on the feathers?

I use acrylic paints.

Also it depends on the shop/store and how much their mark up is. I know must Zoo's mark up their sales 300% - 350% above wholesale price. Which is the price they pay to get the items from the provider. So it all depends, there are too many factors. Your feathers could be marked up to $50 - $60 as a possibility, though you wouldn't receive the whole amount (Depending on if your doing it for charity or not) You would maybe fetch $10 from a $50 sale. Like i said, again it depends on the place XD
I hope I've helped a little

Zoo definitely won´t mark up the feathers, because I am doing this for free and I won´t get any money for painting these feathers. All of the money for the feathers will go to the endangered hornbills.
In fact, I am asking about the price because I will discuss the price with zoo and together we will say how much the feathers will cost. But of course, we need people to buy it (if people wouldn´t buy it, it wouldn´t help the hornbills) and at the same moment we need to get as much money as possible - again, because of the hornbills, because zoo won´t get any money from the feathers, too.

Then i stick with my first comment on the $15 - $30 price depending on size and detail and any additions you add (Like strands of a beads etc)
It's nice to see some people out there care enough for our endangered animals.

přiznám se, že na akryl jsem si nikdy nesáhla, takže nemůžu posoudit, jak těžké to s ním asi je, ale i tak respekt
