Which bird - Mikä lintu?

We had at our driveway big feathers, about 20 cm long.
I have no clue from which bird they could be, but can you make me wiser??? To answer click  the "Comments" at the end of the post - or if you have the contact info you can also send me a message personally.

Eli minkä linnun sulat yllä olevassa kuvassa on? Minun ehdotus on huuhkaja...

My suggestion is eagle-owl, huuhkaja (Bobo bobo).

This particular bird took a big role when Finland and Belgium were playing Eurocup 2008 qualification game in Helsinki about 2 years ago. Check it out from here.

I think they are stonenackel`s feathers, kivinakkeli (stemu stemu).

It could also be a Pulu.

Kesälookin sulkiinsa värjännyt pulu nakkeli kiviä kivinakkelin suuntaan ja molemmilta lähti karvat lentoon...
Voitte kirjata ornitologian vuosioppaaseen 2010.

"Kesäloo"
Since "Kesä" means summer in Finnish and "loo" is a nickname for a toilet in UK, I guess we are talking about an outhouse (toilet) a.k.a. paskahuussi in Finnish, the traditional one you can find from the summer cottages.

I wonder if yesterday's beans are connected that way too. In the loo.
