Sorry, I forgot to say that I did look for the official Italian translation for "pendant feathers", but couldn't find any, so I translated the actual explanation of what these feathers are.

Hi Beatriz, "tarso" is actually the translation for "shank" and "pedant feathers" is translated with "calzoni", as pointed out by Gloria. So the full translation should be "PIUME DEL TARSO E DEL CALZONE".

Asker: Thanks Manuela, I think piume del tarso is fine for pendant feathers but shank? Shank would be coscia? It is like a part of the leg of the raptor, any help with that? Thanks!
