If you are still doing trades I have a LOT of marine birds. I've got a big pile of guillemot wings and feet, some seagull wings and feet, and a very "beginner quality" taxidermy seagull. I'm not sure that counts as marine but ehh. Also have tons of sea potato skeletons,starfish, large crab claws,shells exc.

Is it the migratory bird treaty act? I know they have that in the US and Canada but I didn't know there were similar laws other places.

No... it's just that all native birds are protected and it's illegal to own parts of them unless they've been preserved by a licensed taxidermist. The laws in my country are very strict when it comes to trading animal parts, which is good ofcourse, but it is the main reason why I stopped collecting taxidermy in general. I don't want any trouble. So I started focusing on fish/marine life parts, because most of those species aren't protected.
