I believe the restrictions are for the sale of and release into public
waterways, not the possession of. Damn if that does not sound like a
DEA regulation. ;-)

It is not a complete list but it gives you an idea.

Last year I saw frog's bit for sale at one of our nurseries.

My parrot's feather is now confined to the Frog Bog, took tons out
last year
and it was growing in the compost pile this spring!!!
Another mass cleanout is scheduled for this fall.

Someday I expect the mosquito police to visit my ponds if West Nile
takes a
hold in SE WA. I want to be legal when they come. ;-)
