Emporer Penguins are neither illegal nor protected. I checked it out a couple of years ago.
Things may have changed, but the bird is not in any danger. Zoos are very protective, and will fib about the status of them. I called the Federal agencies and customs, and there's no restrictions due to endangerment status. A hide would be difficult to get in because of general bird precautions, but a treated dry sterile patch of feathers would not be a problem- if you could find a source.
