Well, one of the supposed best down sources is an Eider, which is a duck,
not a goose, so I would say the answer is a definite maybe.

Eider way I would just look at the top two or three brands if I were buying

lovely wife owns two of them), Feathered Friends (haven't owned them but
have heard good reports.)
