I once knew a guy who had a series of outbuildings on several acres of land just south of Southport.
He bred exotic and oriental birds of so many different types it was unbelievable.
To gain entry to the land and pass between the different buildings you had to go through various pools of disinfectant etc.
He was breeding many species that had almost become extinct in Vietnam following the war and the use of 'Agent Orange'
The parrots he had in the various aviaries were superb.
He had one large outbuilding and all the feathers which came off the birds in the various stages of their existence were taken there.
Then he had a section where the same were turned into the fancy feathers for fishing.
They were placed into small boxes with plastic tops and then into trays of a dozen, maybe more, I can't remember.
Whilst I am not able to recollect the prices each feather and hook was fetching throughout the land and perhaps further afield, I seem to recall it surprised me greatly.
