I am in agreement with Christine. It is human nature to want to possess something- and bird feathers are undeniably beautiful! I think that something that could lead to so many unanticipated problems- like the changing of the 1918 law- should be left alone. It is interesting to note that this law just came up in discussion with some teachers I know just last week. We were wondering what was proper when it came to possession of specimens. We were told that as long as you had the permits and you were working for an educational institution you could have the specimens.
