Icelandic Eider farmers
The eider is a wild animal, so Icelandic eider farmers are not "farmers" in the traditional sense. Instead, they are caretakers of the birds’ environments and nesting sites. They harvest the downy feathers that the females shed from their breasts to line their nests once they are no longer needed by the birds or their young.
