My mum used to say the same thing to me back in the days when I had a rather substantial collection of claws and wings (roadkills and naughty neighbour kitties). Then one day I explained to her it was my way of keeping the memory of the bird, a sort of tribal/pagan momento mori for the animal spirit. Then I had her appreciate the dragon scale on a crow's foot. She understood after that. :)
