Bird nests are protected under the Wild Life Act. So do not take nest as a source for material. Remember it is also illegal to have in your possession any parts of raptures. So if you find feathers from hawks, eagles or ospreys leave them. It is okay to collect game bird feathers from quail, pheasants, ducks or turkeys, so if you find feathers from any of these birds then you may take them. Feathers can be found in most craft stores.
