Is it Federal law or State law that makes certain bird feathers illegal to own? If it's State law, I need to know for Illinois. What birds' feathers are illegal to own, even to pick up from a bird molting or from roadkill? Where can I find this info? I have heard that it is illegal to own any feathers from any birds of prey. Is this true, and if so, are there any other feathers from any other birds that are illegal to own?

I know you are not allowed you possess or own bale eagle feathers unless you are Native American.
I believe any birds that are endangered are illegal also.

Bald Eagles
California Condor
and any imported bird feathers from endagered species.
I believe it is only legal to possess them if you have a permit and the limit is a single feather.

Any bird on the endangered species list.
Any eagle -- not just the Bald Eagle -- except by Native Americans when it has ceremonial significance.
