The Courting Season Collection

Darlings, it is Courting Season, and might I say — about time. The wing display has grown terribly unimaginative this year — the same tired flap, the same three feathers fluffed at the same tired angle. Elevate the whole performance, or simply watch it happen from a superior log in something that photographs beautifully. Your devoted correspondent has done the fluttering so you don’t have to.

Prices in marsh currency

Dew-Catcher Wing Cuffs

Cut to catch the morning light on every downstroke, worn slightly higher on the primaries than convention strictly allows. A display piece for a display season.

Sun-Warmed Amber Bib

One dramatic collar piece that does the work of an entire wardrobe. Wear it and say nothing — let the amber do the courting for you.

Pressed Willow-Catkin Combs

Understated when still, unmistakable the moment you turn your head. Tuck three along the crest and pretend it was effortless.

Quill-Tip Opera Glasses

For the fashionable fowl who intends to judge this season’s proceedings rather than join them. Hand-lacquered reed, worn with absolutely nothing else. Restraint is its own display.
