Can anyone help me identify this bird feather?

Hi, I live in LA and my dogs have been chewing on some bones and I found all these feathers nearby. Maybe unrelated but I’d like to know if anyone can identify them! (Also I am aware that dogs shouldn’t chew on bones they find, Ive taken the bones away from them.)

Australian Birds

Hello, can anyone help me ID these feathers?
I got a few of these years ago, so I don't fully remember where I got them from, but they are most likely from birds from Victoria and from a nearby wetlands park.
There is also a VERY low chance they are from Queensland

Also, there's my hand for scale. (I do have a small hand though)

Barred owl or red wing hawk?

Hi! Found this on our walk today. Google pulls up either barred owl or red wing hawk. It’s soft like any normal feather and about 12 inches from top to bottom. Found in rural southwest KY. TIA!

Flamingo Feather ID

I found this flamingo feather at the zoo. I want to frame it in a shadow box as a room decoration and label it with the precise species name. The only issue is that Im not sure about the precise species. The zoo I found it at has Chilean Flamingos and Lesser Flamingos in the same enclosure. Is there any way to tell which of the two flamingo species this feather came from? Or is making a sure determination impossible?

[Western Oregon] Owl feathers of some kind? Great horned?

We didn't keep them! Just took photos. Saw osprey, red-tailed hawks, falcons, woodpeckers, and blue jays on the trail too :)

Unknown bird feather

Hello fellow feather-lovers! I have recently started a feather collection. However, i am stuck with one of my findings. I asked my ornithology teacher about it and looked it up in some atlases and identification books. However, nothing seems to fit perfecrly. My best guesses are honey buzzard or common buzzard but the colour pattern seems off.

The feather was found in Tulskaya oblast, Russia, 17 august on the side of the road between the harvested wheat fields.

Who is this? Southern England

Found in town centre. I’ve been frantically Googling British waterfowl / birds of prey but I can’t find a match. Any ideas?

ID please small but not stripped

Tried Google images and some UK feather charts but only really found stripy patterns.
Found in the same area but at different times so could be two different species.
