If your falconry license is revoked, what should be done with kept feathers?

When a falconry license is revoked, any feathers that are in possession must be handled according to regulations that respect wildlife conservation and ethical practices. The correct course of action is to either destroy the feathers or donate them. This is important because possessing feathers without a valid falconry license can lead to legal issues and is not consistent with the principles of responsible wildlife management.

Destroying the feathers ensures that they cannot be misused, while donating them may contribute to educational programs, museums, or other legitimate uses that comply with wildlife laws. The emphasis is on ensuring that feathers do not enter commercial markets or get kept indefinitely, which would not be appropriate under the circumstances of a revoked license.

In summary, proper management of feathers in the event of a revoked license serves to uphold the integrity of falconry practices and wildlife regulations.
