I think we were all outlaws with out BB guns and slingshots.  ;)It's those who never grow up that are the problems.

They were protected, when I lived in New England.

They were protected all over the country if I'm not mistaken.

 It doesen't make much sense to me to break a Major Federal law using Gull feathers when you could use big old Barred owl, Buzzard, Condors, Pelican, Gray Herrings. All have a lot bigger and better feathers and you could still be just as guilty and write that big check when you get caught.

Eddie...I aint too sure on the Vulture and Condor...but the Owl Feathers are a definite No-No
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

 They are all a no, no, El D. Just my point, if you are gonna take a chance on going to jail, might as well get caught with something good, heck, there's always Eagle feathers ,too. ;)

Ok, I am asking for real now.... I do a lot of beach combing in Cape Charles, Virginia and seagul feathers are easy finds. How do I find out if they are or are not really legal in Virginia?

I was watching the PBS special on The National Parks the other night and when The Everglades became a National Park a federal law was passed to protect the indigenous bird species from plume hunters. It was in the early 1900s and has probably been amended to protect most other bird species. Do a Google search for Federal bird protection laws. I'm sure you will have plenty to read.  ;)
