how bout some blue jay?

[Shoemoo]

Those laws are such BS. I can understand it being illegal to kill the bird or sell the feathers, but there's no harm in just picking up loose feathers for your own enjoyment. Especially when the bird is nowhere around or already dead.

My brother creamed a hawk of some kind in his Expedition on the freeway when it was sitting on a post and tried to take off going across the road. If I'd have been with him at the time, I would have gotten out and picked up some feathers. Leaving them to rot on the side of the road wasn't going to bring the bird back to life, so why let them go to waste?
