I thought the law applied to “rare” birds? Or are shrikes rare? It’s different from state to state, isn’t it?
The laws in the US state that it’s illegal to own, trade, sell, etc etc either in part or whole any federally protected migratory bird*. Rare has nothing to do with it. This is a federal law so it does not vary from state to state, and it’s taken quite seriously. The list is very, very long:
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/RegulationsPolicies/mbta/mbtandx.htmlThe exception are gamebird species such as some ducks and geese, etc. You may then, with proper licenses and tags, own a legal limit of these birds if taken legally (meaning nicely, that if you legally hunt them and shoot them during season then you can keep them). You still can’t trade or sell them though.

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.We use metal – I think they’re made of brass – clip-on candleholders. They bite the branch and are pretty stable. We’ve always had candles on the tree instead of electric lights, even though our house is a 100+ years old and a tinderbox waiting to happen. But we have no cats, the dogs stay in the hall and the kids are big enough to know not to knock over the tree. 😆
