Why? Was he on drugs or something? How did he mistake a feather for a piece of pasta?

Actually the "macaroni" reference in Yankee Doodle is almost certainly to do with a fashion style of around that period)

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
