Where do the feathers come from? Are they ethically collected?

I have no idea where they come from, if they are real feathers and/or if they are ethically collected. I looked on the packaging and it says "Top quality materials, handcrafted in the USA." Also "Veterinarian recommended as an interactive toy". No mention about the feathers. All I know is that my cat adores this toy and it has made him happier than he was before.

All these feathers are guinea. There are also attachments are goose. Both of these birds shed their feathers regularly and then regrow them. They are generally kept for the feathers and down they produce [sort of nature's sustainable resource]. Since they also lay eggs they have two purposes.

After months of use we have yet to be poked by a feather. These are made with very high quality material that seem to keep any feathers in...although there should be very few feathers mixed in with the down.

A "pokey" feather? I have never heard of one or experienced one. Over the years I have bought at least 5 Goose Feather and Down I see no reason why you would experience one.

Can wipe off the polyester (which enclose the feathers) with air freshener or just wipe off. But you can launder the overall pillow case which also with feather pillows purchase.

No Feathers. But the exterior is a weird material. No way it is 1200 ct pure egyptian cotton.

Made in USA according to the tag. After having these inserts for several mnths, they are shedding feathers around the seams. You will need a good pillowcase (ticking) or impermeable cover like leather or suede to prevent feathers from poking out. They have stayed full and shapely even though i sit against them.

I didn't purchase the one with feathers. Mine was just a little stick that peeked out. They got bored with it. I actually taped a loose feather and they enjoyed it a little more. I wouldn't purchase again.

If you are referring to the peacock feather itself...then yes, they sell them at all arts and crafts stores singly. Pet stores carry them...it's just a peacock feather. Type in peacock feather, anywhere...see what you get. Here&gt;&gt;&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Pack-Natural-Peacock-Feathers-10-12/dp/B00649QS20.

I am not sure not feathers it's firm feels more like a type of poly fill. The pillow is quite lovely as a decorative pillow.

They are identical. The feather pattern starts in the upper left corner & ends near the center on both.

Probably both. The edges are stitched, but the feathers themselves are not. But I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with them. They are really cute, and the quality is great. I've had them in my car for a year and a half, and they're holding up great. I love the way they look in my car, and get compliments on them by almost everyone that gets in it, especially from the females!

No feathers. i think it's supposed to act like feathers, but it's manmade. We love them though. The boys love them.

These feathers are big, full and long. Each feather is appx. 7 - 9 inches in height.

I don't know where these are obtained, but I do know peacocks molt substantial feathers. My cousin had a neighboring peacock living in her yard and it molted probably 50 just in her yard.

It is not feathers. I am not sure what it is made of but it is a synthetic material that is made to mimic down in terms of being light but warm. I have had many down alternative comforters and have found them satisfactory. I believe the down alternative is less expensive than feathers. You could probably google down alternative and find out more about its composition.

i dont' know, but i would think not because it has feathers and beads at the top that are not detachable.

No. They were a mixture of feathers...some goose and I suppose duck. My hubby, who is fussy, is happy with them.
