I find eagle feathers all the time, but there are those out there that take offence at the taking of them.

True..but if they fall off naturally and you find one....
Not sure they can tell the difference - just always assumed that it was "any feather" for a non native.

I don’t know the law here but I’ve been told that any feather other than a chicken and it’s jail time and fines . I don’t think most people know the difference between chicken or turkey or blue jay or bald eagles but some do . So I made it a personal policy to leave feathers alone..... I might pick one up and look at it but I leave it there, I’ve heard stories of people having to deal with some bs and I don’t need that shit. I do love a good cowboy hat with a rattlesnake band full of vulture feathers ...... and listening to some drunk arguing that it is black eagles......

Feathers generally come from migratory birds, so they're considered "parts of birds" and fall under the migratory bird act (Canada).
Eagle feathers are sacred and because of legislation, only natives can touch or use them (unless they were a gift from elders).
It falls under some act or other, it's early and I don't have a caffeine ppm in my system yet.

I've always been concerned about bringing mites in by picking up feathers. There have been studies done about mites migrating off feathers before molting but how do you tell the difference between a molted and plucked feather and what happens if some of the mites didn't get the molting memo? My dust mites are a territorial bunch and don't want another gang moving in on them.

Got my plant update on the 250 club thread done and had half a coffee so far. I'm looking forward to what the rest of the day holds

So I have a bunch of fields around my property.......2 big ones get hayed. I don't usualy mind. But this year it was done on the 4th. If you know what it's like doing that on a dry day, you know why it would suck to be bbq'ing and have your neighbor hay then. Well I'm mowing the lawn this am and it's hot and sticky humid.............Yay!!!!! The shit truck's here! Think multiple tandem dump trucks of shit getting thrown in the air! This stinks. I hope it rains 
Oh yeah lawn mowing didn't get finished.......I thought it was gonna rain, put the mower in and it got sunny
LOL

The USA has the same law(s), one of the oldest to protect birds/animals; Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) 1918. Enacted to further strengthen the Lacey Act of 1900 and stop the plume hunting and skin trade. The "G" still takes that seriously if you're caught.
"Tens of millions of birds were taken at the height of the feather-trade years, between 1870 and 1920. The two groups most damaged by fashion hunting were the white egrets or herons, and the small terns. One auction record alone lists more than one million heron or egret skins sold in London between 1897 and 1911. A single 1892 order of feathers by a London dealer ... included 6,000 bird of paradise, 40,000 hummingbird and 360,000 various East Indian bird feathers. In 1902 an auction in London sold 1,608 30 ounce packages of heron ... plumes. Each ounce of plume required the use of four herons, therefore each package used the plumes of 120 herons, for a grand total of 192,960 herons killed.

I'm trying to talk myself into potting a bunch of clones from solo cups up to 3 gal. bags... After some testing, I'm going to downsize from the 10g bags to 7g....and my super soil got upgraded so we shall see!!
Worked 5 half days cleaning a 2 bedroom apartment this week, and other than a little paint to touch up it's as good as "new"...and probably cleaner than my own home now...nah! I was never so glad to see the week over.
My Tens unit got me through....I had not used it in a long time and wow did it help. I just ordered a wireless app controlled one to try too. Might be especially great on long car rides and such.
Well, they aren't going to re-pot themselves! Beautiful day here!! Like 80F and breezy. Flew drones earlier but a little too breezy for them today.
