But I guess the choice is part explained because the softest underfeathers of many birds are white, and white's a highly visible colour for a bird looking down(pun discovered).<BR/><BR/>Jenny, you'll just have to leave the cold old country for a longer spell in the warmth and colour here!<BR/><BR/>Hi KM: Thanks. Hey, I meant to ask why nine-banded armadillos have 10-11 bands?Tyto Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03834120720077625697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-64045753334142276452008-10-12T12:12:00.000+10:002008-10-12T12:12:00.000+10:00Very exotic looking - to me here in Texas, anyway!...Very exotic looking - to me here in Texas, anyway!

I bought a bag of pillow lining feathers from a haberdashery and the birds would select the white ones over the other colours all the time.<BR/>Great item, you've got some wonderful birds around you up there!<BR/>GouldiaeGouldiaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534425400820381646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273239276262782106.post-17965707847916702192008-10-11T21:13:00.000+10:002008-10-11T21:13:00.000+10:00Sorry Mick and Mosura.
