I went on a beautiful outing to a wildlife refuge with my boys. I thought I was teaching them how important it is to preserve nature, appreciate wildlife and the natural beauty we have around us. They found 2 beautiful large feathers on the ground and took them home. My 4 y.o. was so proud to show Daddy. I thought I could use them as an educational aid and look on the internet to find out what kind of bird it came from. Unfortunately, I've just learned that it is illegal to have these in our possession. What do I do with them now? I would like to call the Park Authority or talk to a Park Ranger so that maybe they can put them to educational use in park programs, but I am afraid if I "fess-up" I'll get a heavy fine instead of a thank-you.
