I always appreciated our birds more here, surrounded by piles of ostrich feathers, than I did when I was in their presence. It seemed to me our feathers were much bigger and silkier than the scores strewn on the tables around me. Our birds were more richly colored, a gray so soft it was almost blue in the right light, or creamy white like the inside of an eggshell. It wasn’t something you noticed when the feathers were still attached to the birds, because the birds’ bad tempers ate up all your attention. If you stopped to admire their colors, you might get clouted on the head by a big hard beak that may as well have been a piece of stovepipe. Some things, like ostriches and brothers, were easier to appreciate from a distance.
