To answer your question yes you could wear a feather with a clansman crest badge. I will post a scan I have from the Lyon office that covers this subject this evening when I get home.
As to legal feathers.... You can get custom colored eagle feathers from www.realleagalfeathers.com.
They use feathers from birds that are not protected and custom hand color them. I own four of their feathers and they are great.
As to the reason for using real feathers, they make you easy to see so that in battle leaders could be found or in a crowded event you can be seen.
