Special purpose game bird permits are issued to
individuals interested in possessing captive-bred game birds other than
waterfowl, and to buy, sell, trade, and donate such birds to other individuals
holding a game bird permit. Unlike waterfowl regulations (where permits are not
required to possess ducks, geese, or swans), this permit is required before a
game bird can
|
be acquired. This permit authorizes the possession of migratory
pigeons (most commonly held under this permit is the band-tailed pigeon), doves
(most common is the mourning dove), sandhill cranes, coots, and gallinules. To
qualify for this permit, the applicant must show adequate caging facilities by
submitting drawings and photographs.
