Canada: don’t move a migratory bird

October 28, 2005

The fine can be six months in jail per bird plus a $300,000 fine.

However the judge in the case involving the Leduc Golf and Country Club and 80 Canada geese was lenient.

A club spokesman said the geese were being killed or maimed by golf balls, and moving them was for their own good. But it is a federal offense to move such birds without a permit.
