The smell of down feathers....

Can someone educate me if it is true that down feathers smell bad, like that of someone who has laboured the entire day without a shower?...

I had a down jacket that I used for 5 continuous winters without any smell. Come to think of it, I don't recall ever washing it either :!:

Then again, as part of the avian breed, I don't think my views should be taken seriously in this discussion.

PS. My sense of smell should not be questioned here, though, since I can easily identify the guilty party who let off gas in a room occupied by my wife and my 2 kids.

Hey hey avian species, now you know yours must be the goose one, no wonder no smell for 5 years except your own smell... :lol:
No question about your nose for other people....but for yourself....

Thanks Blobbi!

I think I have gathered enough data points that the ones that give out the smell are the duck ones. However, I have come across one duck one without smell and the sales person said they treated the feathers.
