Dear all,

Last entry on this obviously sensitive issue:  I  am a lttle surprised
that Phillip Veerman thinks my contribution 'silly'. Appreciating very
much Alastair's more constructuve contribution to the thread, can I just
say that the surface area to volume ratio is important? Hummingbirds are
almost useless for this reason even on sub-compact vehicles. Of course
there is also an upper limit. Do not try washing the car with an Osprey,
even though you would expect water to come naturally to them. My wife's
arm is still in plaster.

Why not a couple of Eider Ducks - all that fluff under the outer feathers would surely bring up a great shine?
