Makes sense. For those without regular access to geese, you can buy
feather brushes at various pastry and confectioner supply shops. They
would presumably be guaranteed food-safe.

As long as it's completely clean rinsed, what you use as a
cleaner/solvent shouldn't have much effect on the feather; its capacity
for sticking its little tines together is structural, not chemical.
