I pretty amazed that you can travel around, as it appears you do alot,
without out declaring any such bird kinda things, especially if you are
taking some various types of bird parts and the like. . .some animal parts
as well. (customs and the wildlife folks sorta get interested in this
stuff )

Actually, that always suprises me a lot, too. Its like that old joke of the
guy at the construction site who went past the guard each evening with a big
pile of dirt in his wheelbarrow. The guard just KNEW that he was stealing
something, so he would paw through that dirt with a fine-toothed comb, and
never could find anything in it. Years later, the guard met up with the
worker at a bar and recognized him. He asked "What the hell were you
stealing all those years ago?" The guy replied: "Wheelbarrows."

Whenever I go through customs and they ask me to open my tying kit, they
always overlook all the skins and feathers (including some from SA that I'm
pretty sure are endangered and/or restricted) and paw through the scissors,
tweezers, vice, bodkin, whip-finisher, hooks, etc. They never even ask about
the materials. Usually, they want an explanation of the forcepts!
