The other day I was cleaning around the house and moving stuff around when my wife said "Stop" .
Not being a fool I stopped.
She bent down and picked up a parakeet feather.
She held it up proudly and said " Here honey , you can use this to tie a fly".
"Dumb old girl" thought I . You cant tie a fly out of a parakeet feather .
Then my next thought was "Dumb old guy", why cant I use a parakeet feather to tie a fly.
Has any one used parakeet feathers? Or parrot feathers.
Or any kind of pet store bird feathers.
Is this a viable thought or am I wasting precious brain cells on a fruitless quest for diversity.
