My DH's bird has decided he LOVES this stuff. The bird is allowed to free-fly around the house, and I can't leave any of this out or he'll find it and start picking at it!! I have decoy scraps set out in strategic places now, LOL.
It's tough to turn - I made a smallish zippered pouch and it was no fun at all turning it right-side-out. Looks like nice worn leather though! Mine is in black; I haven't gotten around to try decorating it, but I'm thinking some metallic paint or dye worked into the creases could be a subtle and interesting effect.
