Index of Subjects
Index of Subjects I think the reason I asked this was way back, I'd asked if anyone had a use for the various feathers that were accumulating on my window sills from visitors to my feeders. It was then I was quoted the laws referred to lately. I have collected a few for the museum and for Randy's beetles but I wouldn't be doing the collecting this time and what I would use it for initially would be part of my work and put up for sale if things turned out as I planned. I expect the bird has washed away now or been buried by the storm. An aside, my grandmother was a milliner, in Annapolis Royal. Long gone before I came along.
