Heh. Rob's post was most humorous! But I can vouche for what Kelly
wrote: even for us licensed rehabilitators, it's illegal for me
to possess any feathers (that would be interesting to anyone to chat
about, anyway).

And, as long as we're talking hypothetically ;-) I certainly wouldn't
want to discuss any feathers I did own, if only for that reason!
