Hi Everyone:
It has recently been brought to my attention that some folks do not
think a collecting permit is required to capture (trap, net, etc.)
and/or band native bird species in KY. So I'm sending this e-mail out
to you all in the hopes that you can help me spread the word...The KY
Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources does require a scientific or
educational collecting permit to take, possess, and then release any
federally protected wildlife (including native birds). This helps us to
ensure that birds are not harmed in the process and allows us to keep
track of species distributions within the state. This does not include
rehabilitators or falconers since they must apply for different permits.
I have included the link to our regulations and fees (fee regulations
are being amended) below. If anyone has any questions, please feel free
to contact me. Thank you!

Did you know... Department of Fish and Wildlife receives NO tax dollars
and manages wildlife for all citizens?
