Andy, I always thought it was just migratory song birds and raptors whose feathers were illegal to possess. My niece found a dead owl in the woods, brought it home, put it in the freezer and called the Game Warden. Boy!! Did he read her the riot act, but was decent enough not to fine her.Many Klatch said:Shortbow, we need to watch what kind of feathers we use. Our Possum Cops can fine you if you have a feather from a non-domesticated bird on your person. A friend got a couple hundred dollar fine for having a Cardinal feather in her hat. Many Klatch
