If I am not mistaken and someone correct if I am wrong but they use Ostrich Plumes. They take one little piece at a time and glue them in. They have great movement that is forsure.

They are called feather boas, ostrich is the best, its long and moves great, maribou is the stuff you see most aoften in craft stores, you can dye it, but its difficult nd messy , but you can also order them in pre dyed colors, you can stich them down on the head or you can pluck inividual ones from the bao and glue them were needed
