If I could bag one of these I would be set for life!  I don't think it is protected... :laugh:

There are millions of American kids and adults that think Big Bird is a protected species and with good reason.  ;)

  That's a deal man!  Just the right wing though and half the tail feathers.

How about these? Argus pheasant, a legal cage bird:


OMG!  The display took me like 5 minutes to even comprehend!  That's incredible!


Googleing too me here:  http://www.gbwf.org/  there are some beautiful birds out there!

Is this blowing anyone else's mind???

Odd color phase of a Eurasian Eagle Owl.  She's in full "threat posture", puffed up like a tumbleweed.  They run about 5 lbs and are bloody minded killers!  And for an owl, pretty smart.  The feathers would be legal in the United States, but you would want to carry some sort of documentation with you because their feathers tend to look almost identical to a great horned owl.

In Finland they are called Uhu's ...cuz that's the call they make uuuuUUHoooo!

I've (almost) worked with one, but she decided I was worthless and beneath her dignity.
