WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOS E DOWN AND DUCK?

At http://www.homelinen.co.uk/ we know that Geese have 4 types of feathers but the down has all the insulating abilities we need for a high quality duvet.The feathers from foul that live in seriously cold areas, like those in Hungary or Poland or better yet from Siberia, are the best.The temperatures are so low in those regions that the foul need to be insulated well to stay alive and be light enough to give them mobility. These quality feathers appear with no central spine as do the duck feathers. The duck feathers provide fullness, and are easy to come by, but do not have the warmth and insulating capabilities of the goose down from colder areas. Duck down also exists and is superior to duck feather as it is finer than the duck feather.The GOOSE DOWN feather is plucked beneath the outer layer feather giving bounce and loftiness with its concentrated benefits.
