up until now have been buying white feathers in the rather small and expensive bags from bird stores but my birds go through them much too quick for that to be economically viable... where do people get theres from? searched through spotlight for a pillow to destroy but they only have synthetic now!!

Feather down Doona.From Salvo's or Vinnie's but be-careful that it has not been treated with insecticide.The good thing is if they're using them they must be nesting.

Buy a feather pillow its rather cheap because the distribution of the feathers should last along time.

Don't rely on the prices he puts on his website tho as they are way outdated according to him... Especially seed.

old tony is not to computer illiterate its about $45 for 20 kg of seed will ring him and find the price on the feathers if needed. the price of seed went up a while back due to the lack of it....and transport costs, its a good mix and fyi i dont get a commision, the only thing wrong with the old boy is his opinion, you go there with yours , agree with his while you are there and go home with yours...simple...pete
