Whenever I'm out with kids and feathers are spotted I always use it to reinforce the phrase, "Take only pictures, leave only foot prints." Some animal is going to get way more use out of that feather than most people will by having it collect dust on a shelf.
It's a law that's used to nail poachers, officers have enough sense not to haul into jail every second grader across the country that takes home a blue jay feather. -- Sharon Stiteler Uptown, Minneapolis the official bird lady of www.neilgaiman.com See the mouse incident at www.wildbirdstore.net/kare11.html
