I have done a previous list of animals featured on my banknotes but deliberately omitted anything with feathers or scales. So here are all the feathers. I've left out all the stylized emblems (mostly of eagles, I mean when was the last time you saw an eagle in the wild carrying an orb, scepter, sword or wearing a crown?)
