This ball of feathers, worth 10 thousand dollars, belongs to the Eider duck, and these feathers never stay wet due to the large amount of air trapped in its leaves. A maximum of 4 tons of these feathers can be collected per year. These feathers protect the Eider duck from the freezing cold seas in Iceland. During the breeding season, these feathers are shed naturally and female ducks use these feathers to build nests. Farmers collect these feathers by hand. Next, the feathers are baked in an oven at 120 degrees. After being cleaned of dirt, the feathers are processed in special machines. It takes about 5 hours to extract one kilo of product. Due to its excellent insulation properties and lightness, it is used in the production of luxury pillows and quilts.
