I have some goose and duck feathers but the duck ones are narrow and neither is very strong. I notice that magnolia leaves are thick, sort of leathery feeling and kind of strong. I might give them a try and give a report. I have used duct tape 2-fletch with success but it looks "ghetto" as my daughter would say.

You can use duck tape for a 3 fletch, but is more difficult. You can bling it up with differnet colors. Camo pattered duck tape might look better, but would be a lot harder to find outside than neon pink. :D
I have used palm frond clippings for fletching. Not great, but not bad, until it dries. Then if it holds together, it cuts your hand.
