Those are actually not spiky feathers at all! They sure do look like it, though, and that's likely the point- if I were a raptor looking down upon a pincushion, I would think twice about grabbing it with my bare feet.

Girl, I know you didn't know but there's no apology in the world that would fix that sunken bridge.
