	|QuestionText=Would Karterians seeking feathers be happy to be gifted one instead, or is part of the superstition in the plucking?  Asking for an Aves slightly traumatised about feather plucking thanks to Patho-Gen.  <s>Don't worry, I'm going to report how many people get elbowed for theft</s>

    |AnswerText=Being gifted a feather is perfectly alright with them, though they may react with some surprise! The superstitions really don't go into plucking vs. gifting, as it's difficult to ask an actual bird for permission. <br><br>But it <i>has</i> been considered extra good luck to catch a bird flying off, with a pristine feather left behind. They'll probably consider an Augmented gifting a feather as almost an extension of that, and be appropriately appreciative of the volunteer.
