 Eider and silk - amazing what nature has to offer

The eider duck

Eider ducks live in the most inhospitable of all landscapes. Cradled on the waves of bitter cold polar storms the naked chicks need to survive. Still - there are no other young birds fledge in so incomparably cozy warmth. They cuddle up in her nest, has the mother duck lined with their breast feathers. These breast are chained down in it, so as not gone with the wind, weigh nothing and are infinitely fine grained twice the fuzz include cold air, warm and thereby develop a sleep environment that is unique. Who ever eiderdown weighed in his palm, amazed by her mysterious aura, a skin friendly through and through feeling. The harvest is very small, it varies depending on the breeding behavior of eiders. Is harvested by hand from abandoned nests in principle only.

"The eiderdown is a collection of Iceland's oldest agricultural operations, and perhaps one of his most subtle. It is more of a culturing as a farmer. We take care of the eider duck, so that they have it comfortable and quiet and privacy, and we protect them from predators."
Arni Snaebjörnsson, Icelandic Farmers' Association

Eiderdown, more valuable than gold Eiderdown are extremely rare, luxurious "top products" of nature. They are the gift of the polar duck to the residents of the Arctic Circle. My thanks go to the most bizarre cohabitation a wild animal with the human species. She is unique.

Eider ducks live far out in the bitter cold of the Arctic Ocean. They are extremely shy, but roam the time of egg laying, amazingly, their fear of people for a short time off. Not for all people, but only against people of a certain family, the family that already looked after their mother. What does that serve? The "human host family" has nesting eiders those who visit it every year, carefully prepared. Geländetulen or worn-out tires are lined with hay. Each occupied one of the Eider nests. Through the process of moulting hormone down her stomach just sitting still loose. This down is matured in the cold hell between icebergs and volcanoes to perfection. By plucking the feathers, the duck turned the hay nest in a cozy paradise down, ready to receive the eggs. All around this world of peace Death lurks. On rocks and trees sit hungry eagles, somewhere in the dark you can see the silhouettes lurking foxes. Eggs and young ducks are a gift from God for them. The farmer will therefore spend the cold nights with the gun on his knees. But he defends the young eiders not only with shots. If the ducks drinking mothers to leave their nests, it replaces wet down thoroughly Heuzugaben. Moisture rots the eggs. By the animal-human symbiosis is created unique. The biographies of very specific duck families are closely connected with the biography of a certain peasant family. This is as unique as the quality of these down. In contrast to all other down, the individual " feathers " not loose, they burred so they can the wind carry away less. And in all their consistency they are Nature's Answer to bitter cold - who takes one of these adhering to itself eiderdown lumps in the hand, experienced magical. Immediately, a gentle warmth, skin developed mild stimulant, as a mother's love had materialized. In this mystery inside the ducklings are born. And the day will come when the family of ducks waddling to the water and the "Pets" transform back into shy wild animals. What they leave behind is a delicious gift to their human hosts and protectors: Tiny little pile of the most valuable of all down. The farmer collects it gram for gram and bring them to the collection. The downs are contaminated by feces, hay and sand. The cleaning process requires experienced, human hands and lasts many hours. The size of the total harvest varies each year and thus achieved at the world market price. This is similar to another, rare natural product, the truffles.

Rightly may say this treasure of nature is worth more than gold
