Mike, redtails are safe - no worries there. As far as the former RoC's go, I've been researching this a fair bit lately, and it seems pretty much nothing has changed except that the FWC has stopped issuing permits to keep them to people who aren't "licensed dealers, public exhibitors or researchers that meet certain biosecurity measures." I'll admit I was deceived by the wording on the new piece of legislation that passed. It definitely sounded like it was going to be a ban. According to the FWC though, apparently it was not. I'd suggest having a look around the FWC's website as they have several pages on conditional species now. Here is one I found that is probably the most helpful: http://myfwc.com/RULESANDREGS/Rules_Nonnative.htm
