Ok - who knows...maybe he will sit nice and still for me.
I have a nice big green towel set aside just for him.

Thanks for asking questions Dopey lol answers were helpful to me as well.

You are welcome. Glad to be of help.

Yep, I agree with Julie. Toweling works best for everyone concerned when collecting feather samples. Just make sure it's an extra large bath towel and fold it over a time or 2 as they can bite through a towel easily enough. Also it's wise NOT to use a family member's favorite towel btw:54:

I bought 3 new towels so each bird could have his/her own.

That's the way to go! Not sure what the problem was, there were only a "few" holes!!

Oh my - good thing I wasn't drinking anything at the moment I read your comment.

Thanks to Yeti I have to buy a new sweater now. But hey - we all know that I love to buy things.

Ok - but if I come back to work on Tuesday with bloody fingers...I'm going to let you all know.

Can I use tweezers with the Amazon?

If you come back & post that you got bloody fingers, we'll know for sure that you don't follow directions well...OR...you exhibited nervousness & got nailed for that instead of plucking the feathers ! ! !

You're better off to use a medium pair of hemostats or needle-nosed pliers, so your nervous fingers can hold the feathers when you pluck ! ! !

Since you seem to be a real worry wort, I will offer you good luck.....

 

[Dopey]

I do believe that I have both of those around...some where. I'm sure about the pliers. Wow - I never thought of that.
