Next time you are in Italy, try this:
Take a black cannonball and a white or as white as you can get piece of eiderdown (please do not use substitutes!), climb to the top of the tower of Pisa and drop both at the same time, you will notice that the black cannonball falls first. This proves that the photovoltaic wings (aka feathers) on the eiderdown is what keeps the fur up! Note that this is also how dinosaurs learned to fly, teradactyls later evolving into rocket riders, strange but true!

PS You have to trust me on this. As a little boy, I wanted to go to the moon, at a later age I wanted to be a rocket scinetist too!
