Yeah, I believe your right. I can clean the sparrow ground trap and it takes a while for them to come around.
These white feathers come from a duck pond, geese feathers haha.
Maybe, just maybe you can get the smell off somehow. Maybe use a strong smelling plant like mint and put them together?
One of my ground trap feathers blew out, a female house sparrow grabbed it and was shaking it. Maybe to get rid of mites I don't know...shot her right between the shoulder blades so I can't ask or I would. Hahahahaha!
