WEBBED FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a magratory bird does NOT have WEBBED FEET, you CAN NOT sell, barter, trade, give or otherwise distribute those feathers!!!!

Dove, Rails, Coots, American Woodcock and other NON-web footed birds fall under this category.

If YOU are the HUNTER, then you MAY posses and use those feathers, BUT in the USA, YOU CANNOT GIVE that fly to ANYONE ELSE!!!!!!! NOR can anyone give any of those feathers to YOU!!!

Just think of anything that is not a duck, goose, or starling as ILLEGAL, just like a robin, blue jay, woodpecker, eagle, gull, owl, hawk, cardinal, hummingbird, heron, oreole, or vertually any other raptor, songbird, or other bird native to the USA!

This also applies to picking up those loose feathers from the ground! If they didn't come from a duck or other webbed footed bird.....

Damn, people read the law!

It doesn't matter what YOUR OPINION is.

The FEDERAL AGENTS only care about the LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am always amazed at the opinions that float around about this subject and the number of people who refuse to listen to tyers who are passing along such sound advice...

Yes. Donald, I realize that you live in Scotland and are subject to very, very different laws.
