unchanged, must be returned to the sender at the conclusion of the project or exhibit. If you will be transporting species listed under
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (e.g., songbird, hawk), in addition to Bald Eagle or Golden Eagle parts to the United States, you may
include them in this application. Live eagles or viable eagle eggs cannot be transported into or out of the United States.
