  • Federal Regs on Magpie feathers?

    Does anyone know what the federal regs are on Magpie feathers? Are they protected/not protected? Legal/Illegal to have?

    Protected.....hell, everything that could be deemed "Migratory" is protected.

    Sparrows, Starlings, Ravens, .....etc.

    Stinks, but, I guess it's for the bird's own good too.

      migratory, songbird,raptor or scavenger.. all protected and game foul has it's own set of rules... You can go to the fish and game or federal wildlife websites and always check.. But Mr. Bo.. Sparrows and Starlings are NOT protected because they are not indigenous and are considered pests. Same with pigeon and wild dove.

        MO specific info:


        Federal migratory bird laws:
        The Migratory Bird Program works with partners to protect, restore and conserve bird populations and their habitats for the benefit of future generations by: ensuring long-term ecological sustainability of all migratory bird populations, increasing socioeconomic benefits derived from birds, improving hunting and bird watching and other outdoor bird-related experiences, and increasing awareness of the value of migratory birds and their habitats for their aesthetic, ecological, recreational and economic significance.

          protected or not......I see magpie wingfeathers all over on the pow-wow trail. I'm sure the same exceptions apply where they are allowed for ceremonial purposes.

            ....I said it more as a joke than anything else.....how the Feds are protecting everything these days. Give it time, pigeons (Rock Doves) and birds in general will be on SOME kind of protected listing.

            ....when it hits the Chicken/farm raised turkey population....we're in deep doo doo.

            aye!

                Yep I agree with Woggs, if you want magpies, they're all over the place over this way. Seemed like we even used to have a men's basketball team called the Magpies....

                    yep same rules apply... Actually if you have fallen magpie or flicker feathers and you have a eagle feather permit.. I was told you can call fish and game and ask them to add those feathers to your permit. It's up to fish and game whether they will or not.

                        a question about feathers
                        by annie_griffin
                        I collect feathers on my walks. No eagles, hawks or even turkeys for that matter. Usually I find duck feathers,some feathers from songbirds. A heron feather if I'm lucky. I was thinking of making a fan with the duck feathers. They are small but very beautiful.
                        I usually wash them and let them...

                        Laws and Eagle Feathers
                        by Niigig
                        I learned a lot recently about eagle feathers, and I thought, "Hey, maybe someone else will wonder like I did, why not write it down, just in case?" So here it is.

                        I had emailed the DNR here in Minnesota asking about the laws concerning eagle feathers, and specifically whether...

                        I'm constructing a new bustle and I'm having a really hard time finding any good feathers for it. I havent earned the right to use Eagle or hawk feathers, and all the turkey feathers I can find are only the common barred ones. Does anyone know of anywhere that I can find some good alternatives to the...

                        ok, i understand that feathers, especially from certain eagles are sacred for religious purposes. (some tribes??) my question is how or why is 'registration'(??} of each one tolerated or is that still done?? do the freds really have jurisdiction over religious ceremony on tribal lands?? is there a registration...
