Academic exercise it is but I still enjoyed the real world excursion. I never spent a seconds thought on that matter and I'm rather surprised about the amount you could be fined for something you might (if unlikely) find on the street. On the other hand I wonder who would actually spot the difference between an eagle feather and that of another bird of prey? I certainly wouldn't.
