Yes, well the quick whitted amongst you will have immediatly shouted "PEACOCKS!"
Now we have that out of the way lets move on.
I just baught alarge stash of peacock quills off th'bay. I sincestarted to wonder what events took place after the peacocks grew them that led to them being offered for sale in 12" lengths for float makers.
Are these birds farmed for their feathers?
Do they have their wondereful tail feathers plucked so that they walk round 'naked'?
Are these birds bred for the table in some places? (Buckingham Palace??)
Where are all these peacocks?
Does the world have a huge abundance of them?
Does anybody know owt?
I just feel a bit guily buying them, making them into floats and stashing them away in my ivory float tubes.
