The warning on the Eagle feather is true and often enforced. But did you know that almost every wild songbird feather is also covered under federal law? A lady I knew was making dream catchers with cardinal feathers she found in her yard over a period of a year, and some feather earrings and mosaics using other songbird feathers she'd collected on nature walks and camping trips over the years. She posted them for sale on-line and the feds confiscated all her work and put a $100k fine on her...even after she explained she had found them on the ground and that the collection had taken several years to accumulate. You can buy bird feathers from domestically raised birds and birds killed with a hunting permit (quail, pheasant, duck, etc.) but no wild bird feathers that are from protected species or songbirds. (put water fowl in this catagory...many seagulls and pelicans, etc. are also on the protected list!)

There you go. You will have to become a card carrying " NATIVE AMERICAN " to be on the safe side or you might be looking over you shoulder the rest of your life.

Can't be looking over your shoulder cuz the feather will tickle your neck if you do.

If you are "caught", just claim you are native American- It worked for Senator Elizabeth Warren who (uncertifiably) claimed to be 1/32 Native American.
