Are they federally protected or just state protected, or are they federally protected through state law? Thanks.

They are only protected by state law. The federal laws only apply to migratory species.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know why they
are protected. why are they?
they are protected by state law because somebody with money thought they were pretty.

Most state these days have removed them from the 'protected' list(s) as there is no sound reason to keep them there - they are genitic mutants and should be removed - (includes Michigan has removed)
