It's a male pheasant feather, from its mantle. These particular feathers are known as 'church windows' in fly tying. |

It could have been brought in by a nest-building Starling. Or, if your sister has neighbours like me, then someone might have been plucking one in the garden down the street. You can buy feathered male pheasants from butchers/markets for about £2-3. |
