The Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal for anyone to possess a bird, egg, nest or even a feather without a wildlife license.
So it was the act of “stealing” the egg that got him in trouble.
Because communities encourage putting oil on eggs to kill the embryo, thereby reducing overall geese populations and encouraging geese to migrate.
A feather? Seriously?
What looney toon lib in Congress do we have to thank for that?!
