At least once or twice a year some "Chihuahua" will get in my face over my tall feathers-- I'm sure they are well-intended, even if totally ignorant of the "how comes and whys" feathers are worn. Like small yappy dogs I just ignore them.

In reality most folks who are entitled to the display of feathers rarely wear tall feathers, preferring instead to discretely ensign their crest badge with small silver feathers.
