His feathers are plucked all right!(VBG)
David I'm glad to hear you are alright..... at least you can sit on the tender parts and still type! I hope you're bike wasn't too bad off also. If you're feathers are plucked I liked the microwave trick Joyce told me. I throw them in the microwave for a minute and let them cool then repeat it a couple times. That will kill everything. I wasn't brave enough to try it out on things that were on the skin yet. The oils in the skin can cook so if you try it do it for shorter periods of time to test first. I also wash them in woolite to clean them. Some people put them in the freezer but I've heard that this will only cause some of them to go dormant and they can resurface when the conditions are right. Deb
