Grey-Goose Down

["Peter Shute" <>]

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_feathers, "Some birds are
killed solely for their down, while some birds (particularly some geese)
are periodically live-plucked of their breast feathers. Some birds line
their nests with down, and such down might be harvested safely after the
young leave the nest."
