No. Unless you are a practitioner of an "Indian" religion" you need a permit to posess these materials. You risk prosecution even if you picked it up from the ground. I doubt a jury would convict you in that circumstance but you would still risk a lot of hassle.
The law is the same for other wild bird materials so it's best to leave it alone.
White turkey feathers can be made up to look like eagle feathers and that's what they use for movies and TV. Sometimes you can get them already made up at tourist traps or you could check with a turky farm to get your own.
Good luck!
