Oh yes do, it's a really fantastic film!

It´s called Lady Halcón in Spanish. Next step: getting it!

I suppose it is so because they are associated with birds' feathers by most people (including me ).

Really? I´d never thought on bird feathers when seeing those long hairs untill I saw the English name xD But it makes sense. In Spanish we call them "cernejas", which has nothing to do with birds - in fact, those long hairs are the only meaning for that Spanish word.

In Polish there is a phrase "szczotka pęcinowa" which literally means "fetlock brush" - I also think this one is more accurate

Yes, horse feathers are more similar to brushes than to bird feathers!
