Depends on the type of eagle I do believe
Some google-fu tells me it's all eagle feathers, so don't touch them folks!

Just for the record for everyone. If you find any eagle feathers in the US at a park do not pick them up. Leave them alone.

Personally, I'd have no idea if it was or wasn't one lol, but just like I tell my kids; "Don't touch it, you don't know what disease it has!"

My kid cracks me up. She is always bringing me feathers and rocks or moss. I am pretty sure she has brought me scat a few times.

What would they do if they found out you kept one? Arrest you? Do they have cops on standby ready to write a ticket for picking up a feather?

This is really one of those things that makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand not screwing with the birds, but a can't even have one of my countries national birds feathers I found on the ground which rightfully makes it mine? Come on now

Probably because as soon as people start wearing or collecting eagles' feathers it'll have people start thinking about killing them to sell the feathers. It's sick but it would definitely happen.

It definitely did happen. The feather trade around 1900 almost drove some birds to extinction.

The issue is while there's no solid reason to specifically stop people from collecting feathers that fall off birds or other body parts that come from animals that either died naturally or didn't die at all there's no easy way to separate it from the ones that did.

No one said that. Just random stupid shit Redditors want to gatekeep. Go get your some feathers! 🇺🇸

I think it’s true of any raptor, owls included.

And migratory song birds.

So basically just no feathers 🤣
