Well Kathy, what do you do if you end up owning birds that were smuggled? 
What I'm saying is that no necesaryly you know were they come from. I have a 
pair of AG that were wild cought and went through quarantine. They have open 
wire rings wich are tipical for the quarantene dept to use. What if these 
birds did not have any rings? What do you do with them. It could mean that 
eighther the breeder did not band them, and I mean a hobby breeder not a 
pro.. Or it could mean that they were smuggled. I personally think that some 
states have too many unfair rules for both the fanciers and the birds 
themselves. But we as humans, simply allow just about any law thrown to us in 
wich we allways end up loosing without much if any complaints. I'm also
sure that its going to get worst for the fanciers and breeders.
