You can still get real feather fans at the Renaissance Faire. I really want one, but they're pricey and I haven't been able to just spring for it yet.
Collected 3 more feathers this morning, and one was from Cher's chest, which is really cool, because it's black with just a little bit of brown markings. What I need to get next is a couple bins - one for the unwashed feathers, one for the ones I've washed, so I can keep them fluffy and sorted. Right now, I've only got a few and they're in a ziploc baggie, waiting for me to have enough to justify washing them.
