FAQ
Should I keep the feathers I find?
You can keep all the feathers of birds THAT ARE NOT protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918. The MBTA makes it illegal to “take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer for sale, transport or ship any migratory bird, or the parts, nests, or eggs of such a bird” without a valid permit. Keeping other feathers is illegal but appreciating feathers is not.
