This entire post has been a wonderful read. Thank you all, for the good work you do.
You're welcome. Happy to contribute useful knowledge to the community. 👍
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason.
There's nothing protecting pigeons though right? What about Canadian geese?
You don't mess with Canada Gooses. Those are Canada's fuckin' gooses.
What about Canadian geese?
Regular geese with Canadian citizenship enjoy no special protections. Canada geese are protected, though if you've ever encountered one, you'd know that the protection is more for you than them.
If you manage to wrestle Canadian geese into submission you might as well get to keep it.
Canada Goose is covered. Rock Dove is not.
Well, I'd like to see anyone stop me, cuz my living room full of seagulls begs to differ.
When the feds come to your door, they're gonna hear all those seagulls.
You can take as many ducks home as you want though.
Wild ducks are also protected.
Domestic ducks, however, if they are not owned by anyone, are free for the taking.
Don't ducks migrate?
What if they poke you in the coconut?
That counts as consent.
then the coconut has a pretty good case and should call a lawyer
So unfair. Meanwhile, if a flock of seagulls picks you up and flies away with you, there are no legal consequences for them whatsoever.
Almost happened to me once, but then I ran. I ran so far away. I just ran, I can all night and day.
It's not so bad, really. From up here, Aurora borealis comes in view
Not entirely true. In bird culture, that is considered a dick move.
Unless the seagulls pick you up in a giant ass peach with the intention of freeing you from an abusive parent.
However, if A Flock of Seagulls picked you up and took off with you, there WOULD be legal consequences.

A human would probably be too heavy for a flock of seagulls to fly away with. They'd be more likely to run so far away with you.

Perhaps too heavy for Herring Gulls, but they could be carried by Great Black-Backed Gulls.
I really feel there’s a coconut joke in here somewhere
Perhaps if they were to put you on a line between them
This is their land, we just moved here
I understand that this is upsetting, as I know many Michigan residents who have lost loved ones in the Seagull Wars.
However, seagull deterrents are legal, as long as it does not directly harm the birds themselves.
