Daniel Delgado said in a message to Peggy Enax:
DD> No they are not illigal. Any bird once it has entered the
DD> US, becomes legal. As long as you are not the importer. I
    I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, Daniel.  Legality depends 
upon how the bird entered the country.  Java Rice Birds and Quakers were 
legally imported by the thousands yet now, in some states, they are illegal 
to keep.  Further, Java Rice Birds are on the US Fish & Wildlife Service list 
of injurious species.  When I inquired of USF&WS about Javas a few months ago 
I was advised that without proper documentation that my birds entered the 
country legally or were descended from birds who had done so they could be 
confiscated.
