Depredation permits are issued to allow the take of
migratory birds which are causing serious damage to public or private property,
pose a health or safety hazard, or are damaging agricultural crops or wildlife. For
technical advice and information regarding hazing and harassment techniques,
contact your local office of USDA-Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services.

Should it be
necessary to apply for a permit to kill a limited number of birds, documentation
from their office that they have offered advice in the non-lethal control of
birds is required as part of our application information. No permit
is required merely to scare or herd depredating migratory birds other than
endangered or threatened species or bald and golden eagles.
