Steaming feathers?

This might sound dumb, but how do you steam the feathers on a bird? What do you use to steam them with?
Thanks for the help.

I know others will disagree, but I've always been told that there's no such thing as a dumb question. I use an old fashion Teakettle on the stove.

I bought mine in Gainsville Ga at the World Tax Show from a vendor who had them there but they no longer sell them.I would't be surprised if you can find one on the internet.Travelers use them to steam out wrinkles in clothes.Mine was made in Europe somewhere and the name has been erased by heavy use or I could recommend them to you. Good luck finding one as they are a great little tool. JL

I had trouble finding one at Walmart, but did finally find one at Sears. Made by Conair, a real nice handheld that works great. Can go to www.conair.com and order one on line.
