§ 2352 Bird Transport Restrictions

This law says that, unless the law says otherwise, any company that moves people or goods (like a bus or truck) cannot carry protected non‑hunting birds or any game bird that isn’t in its legal hunting season.

Key Takeaways

  • •Carriers must not move protected non‑game birds.
  • •Carriers must not move any game bird when its hunting season is closed.
  • •Only a specific legal exemption can allow such transport.

Example

A trucking company is hired to ship a rare red‑tailed hawk from one state to another.

Because the hawk is a protected non‑game bird, the company would be breaking the law by transporting it, unless a special exemption applies.
