    This down right here.

    My new sorcerer of down?

    We have an African grey

    And during my usual "good morning noodle" routine I noticed something.....



    "Now selling African grey down at exorbant prices!!"

    Could you imaging collecting down from a small bird like this. It would take years to build an underquilt.

    Yeah I'm a jokester.

    I guess you better get "down" to collecting. Since it comes from an African Grey is smarter than regular down? Parrot down for pirate quilts? Arrrrrr.
