Unfortunately it's illegal in the US to possess the feathers of most native songbirds even if they were shed or taken from a bird that died of natural causes. Now the FBI isn't likely to come looking for you if you have some, but just thought you should be aware. A very nice fly, by the way. I enjoy your website.
thank you. i used eurasian jay which is legal in the USA
