No.

We have a golden eagle. A dead one. (It's stuffed, and in our Museum, just so you know...)

In this country, in order to have an eagle, even a dead one, or a part of one (what?!), you need to file paperwork every year that tells where you got it, and how you used it, and how many people saw it or otherwise benefited from your possession of a National Treasure. It's not a huge deal. It takes maybe a couple of hours a year. But you have to remember to do it. And then you have to actually...well...do it.

Unless you are me. And then you think, 'This sounds like a job for... The Zoology Department!' who are already dealing with the Department of Fish and Wildlife anyway. And they love dead, stuffed things. And you call them up, and say, 'Hey, do yous guys want to be responsible for this big, dead eagle?'. And they say, 'Heck yes we do!'

And then you have an empty space in your head, where keeping track of the eagle used to be.

No.
