The Baltimore Audubon Society held a meeting to defend state birds from women and pot-hunters involved in ornamental feather wear. They blame forests clearing, guns, egg collectors, and other factors for bird disappearance while deciding not to restrict ostrich or barnyard feather use but banning skins or feathers of song birds for members. A participant noted domestic fowl feathers lack resemblance after trimming and that feather variety reduces need for killing birds.
