Hi KoFFee!
Now I have to ask... why in the hell would crows be on a protected species list? Aren't they the most common bird species on earth? The're freakin everywhere.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23766809 When I first moved to my neighborhood, the noisy birds were everywhere. Then in 2007, West Nile virus caused quite a decline in the numbers of crows and bluejays in my area. This year is the first time I actually heard a crow again, still no bluejays though. I do have a hawk that makes a daily visit to my front porch. That's kind of cool.  I'm in southern IN. and they're common enough arround here. I like em actually. Smartest of all the bird species. They're fun to watch. But like I said, why would they be a protected species. There's a shitload of em everywhere all over the world. I believe this is the act under which they are protected : Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 The statute makes it unlawful to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill or sell birds listed therein ("migratory birds"). The statute does not discriminate between live or dead birds and also grants full protection to any bird parts including feathers, eggs and nests. Over 800 species are currently on the list.
