The answer is EIDER.
The term "eider" refers to both a type of duck and the soft down it produces. Eiders are large sea ducks found in the northern parts of the world, particularly in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. They are known for their distinctive appearance and their specialized diet, which includes mollusks and crustaceans.
The eider duck is particularly notable for its down feathers, which are used to insulate the nest and keep the eggs warm. This down is highly prized for its softness and insulating properties, making it a valuable material for high-quality bedding and clothing. The eider's down is collected from the nests, where the female ducks line their nests with this soft material, providing a clue to the dual meaning of "eider" in the context of the clue.
