Interesting Factoid!!

Did you know....

female mute swans helped to name the modern day pen?

Apparently, back in the day of ink and quills, female mute swan feathers were used as writing materials...A female swan is known as a pen and a male a cob. Anywho, at first, the quills were called pen quills and then after quill pens....

cool fact!
