I have shot about half a dozen long beards with barred tail feathers here in VT and NY, I think they look pretty cool

I thought about it, but I just kept those 2 feathers, all the rest were normal.

That's a cross between a turkey and an owl.  Turkey gets upset, but the owl doesn't give a hoot.
no clue how to do this

I shot one years back that had a similar condition but much less than the one you shot, I always wondered what would have caused it but nonetheless thought it was cool. Heck I was just glad to have shot the sucker in the first place!
