well, not wanting to hijack someone elses thread i thought id post this here. what feathers are legal to collect? so far ive found that songbirds, birds of prey, and birds protected under the migratory bird act are all illegal to own. o and also endagered species. so i know what the birds of prey are, but what birds are considered "songbirds" and what birds are protected under the migratory bird act. and are there any other "groups" of birds that you cant have feathers from? thanks for any info. im basically trying to figure out what kinds of feathers im aloud to gather and own.
