do the feathers come out or poke you?

No, not at all. I have been very happy with it. In fact, I don't even have a duvet cover on it yet.

Mine stayed sticky thru out the entire summer last year. It will, over time, accumulate very small insects that get stuck in it. Never drys out and stays guey the entire time. To remove, just something flat and it will easly scrape off with no problems. Be careful applying too thick of a layer. It's pretty tacky and I think a small bird could actually land it's claws in it and not be able to get out!

Maybe an inch or 2. Not a whole lot. But occasionally feathers pop out and you can feel them when you are laying on it.

I had like 2 or three feathers come out when i first took it out of package but haven't had any since. I absolutely LOVE IT!! Were using it now since its winter over here on the east coast. Keeps us warm and feels like were in a hotel at the same time.

I purchased a zip up cover for mine and then used a regular pillow case over it. When I washed both covers...the zip up did have some small feathers I had to shake out. If your question is were feathers all over the bed...nope. I recommend purchasing the zip up cover, tho

lol no it doesn't but the end of the feathers are very pointy and uncomfortable. No smell though.

I am not sure what you mean by the birds getting stuck. Do you mean they are actually trapped in the feeding holes? If so, I never heard of that happening. Often my feeders get empty before I can get them filled, and the birds just ignore them and come back when the feeders are filled again.

I bought them for my 10-year daughter. She likes them but I have to put them in and take them out. I bought them as party favors for her birthday party too and the girls were excited about them and I put the feathers in several girls' hair before they left the party.

Yes- it's more sized for a budgie- and even my exhibition sized barely gets his tail feathers in. Ha! I think a mess is inevitable :) Maybe your cockatoo would enjoy showers? They make perches for them and apparently some think it's great.

No the bottoms do not come out. We have pads that we put in them and sometimes straw. We did however flip up the little perch in the evening so they don't roost in them. Thus ending most of the "mess" that roosting may cause.

No. My feeder has the holes, however I get an occasional oriole at the feeder. Not sure much they can eat but they do come back.

There is a metal spring clip at the end of the string that the loop from the feather clips onto.

My feathers are now missing also but they like it just the same....Never heard of there being replacements for them. Good luck! :)

Its alternative to feathers. There is nothing poking at all. I will say that it is extremley warm almost too warm. but these last few days when we had the winter snow storm I was glad to have this cozy comforter. When we get too warm, I open the window and it is fine. I am pretty satisfied with this comforter. It covers my king nicely.

There are a few spots that my cockatiels can stick their heads through, where pieces come together. Also, I have to be careful when I clean it because they can hop right through the bottom.... If you're feelin crafty those spaces can be easily fixed up to keep in finches.

If I recall the original feather bit seemed to have a clip part thingy on the string, (worked the same as a safety pin mechanism). I actually "lost" the original feather bit with the clip still attached, so I'm going off of memory. Now a days, I just tie a knot around/through the small metal loop on the new feather bit. I just recently replaced the string as it got full of knots! (OH and by "lost" I mean my cat dragged it off somewhere, most likely under the couch or bed). Hope this is helps! :/

I have not seen or felt one feather poking through! I love this comforter, it is however VERY warm. We keep our room cool at night (~60 degrees) and I have felt too hot at times. Great deal for the money.
