5. Endangered & Threatened Birds (Cont.) In Canada, we have several partners that spend time with our endangered or threatened bird species. They protect their breeding areas and discourage hunting; they also have conservatories. BirdLife International and their co-partner for Canada – Nature Canada, are one of the partners that help keep our birds and many others from becoming extinct. In our area, we also have a place called Wye Marsh.

6. Hunting Season Hunting season in Canada is allowed; it starts around September and runs through October and November. Hunters are allowed to hunt migratory birds to a limit because Canada has a strong policy on habitat protection and bird conservation. Due to the large amount of migratory birds, Canadian Waterfowl Hunting has become quite popular.

20. Endangered Birds The birds that need help are mostly the same as those formally recognized as endangered, and there are laws that have been enacted about cutting trees and forms of pollution that can affect the birds negatively. Other laws protect certain species of birds, which are usually migratory ones. In the United States, no part of any protected bird can be possessed without a permit that is extremely difficult to obtain. This might seem harmless, but it is illegal to pick up any feathers and eggs you might have found of any sort. You can go to jail for illegally possessing the feathers of our national bird, the American bald eagle.
