<br><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> re Eulenflügel<br><br> Perhaps this found under a history of feather dusters might help.<br><br> "To make brushes for the hearth and the stove, wings still bearing<br> their feathers from geese, chickens, and turkeys were popular "wing<br>
dusters," although they had to be kept from cats and dogs and were also<br> meals for insects and moths."<br><br> Both my husband and I can recall, but without detail, goose wings being<br> spoken of as having been used in this context too i.e. for sweeping /<br>
dusting / cleaning in the house.<br><br> I would imagine the incredible lightness of owl's feathers might make<br> them attractive as 'feather dusters' as they could be used round<br> delicate objects as well.<br>
<br> Our ancestors were known for not wasting a thing : so breast feathers<br> for pillows and cushions: tail feathers for normal heavy duty dusters<br> and entire wings as 'brushes'. Also used to decorate large hats of the<br>
19th century!!!<br><br> Heather</font></p></span></div></span><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">=========================================================</font></span><div style="text-align:center">
