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.

Ok, so as a fly fisher-angler person I have an intense interest in feathers. I used to even pick up feathers I'd find in the woods. Until I learned about the migratory bird act.

Get this: There was a fly tier who broke into a museum and stole hundreds of rare/exotic/extinct bird capes/feathers etc. He was selling them on the black market and fetching 10's of thousands of dollars per bird. His heist was pretty sophisticated and if I remember correctly he became an insider at the museum working/researching there first just to pull it off. He eventually was caught and did prison time. There's an awesome book about it called "The Feather Thief". There's an Orvis fly fishing podcast about it that was super interesting too.

and annie is right, many feathers house all sorts of mites/insects. They can eat through your entire feather collection if you mix them with your store bought hackle.

So that was a close one......I'm sitting here watching the kids. My younger one is standing in a flower bed about 30' away. He's sayin "come over and play dad, it's fun". I said give me a min, see if your sister wants to play. He went over to her and not even 10 seconds later a 3" branch about 7-8 foot long from probably 20' up came down in the exact spot he was just standing.

I did not accomplish chopping my flower table. It's 114 here. I have to flip the next table Monday. But it's only 10 plants and they are seeded. So I can just chop the large fan leaves and put the rest in pans to dry to dust for seed extraction and then give to cn for oil, procrastination justification #1
