What do you mean by illegal? To collect a feather from the ground?
Apparently you need a permit to have one 🤔
edit looks like they may have changed the rules. Am confuse.
I’d keep it. The law is probably meant for the wildlife trade, so people don’t kill endangered animals for their feathers/fur etc. If it’s a naturally shed feather you found in your yard it’s fine.
if it's on your lawn does that mean you have the feather
