You cannot legally pick up an eagle featherNot in the United States, and not even one found on the ground. Under federal law, possessing a bald or golden eagle feather without authorisation is an offence, whether or not any bird was harmed and whether or not you knew.The reason is enforcement. A law that allowed found feathers would be impossible to police, so the line was drawn at possession.There is a system for the exception. A federal repository collects eagles that die of natural causes and accidents and distributes the feathers to enrolled members of federally recognised tribes for religious use. The waiting list runs to years.Which puts the casual use of eagle feather imagery in a slightly different light. For the people it is borrowed from, obtaining a real one is a legal process with a queue.Buying more than oneWorth considering for a large design. A 15 by 21 cm transfer is the kind that goes on a back or a shoulder blade, which is the placement most likely to go wrong on a first attempt.Having a spare removes the pressure, and a creased large design cannot be rescued.Our article on the wolf in Native American tradition covers the real material.
