They do like those white feathers dont they , I believe they love Emu feathers even more .

Emu feathers are easier for the finches to bend into shape than the small feathers.

plenty of emu's on the other side of the blue mountains from you.
all you need is to catch one, when you do catch one dont pluck to many feathers out or it could turn around and chase you.
Might be easier to use ostrich feathers, can get these in Canberra at parliament house.
