If non-native game birds are to be purchased, possessed and released into the wild for commercial hunting, a bird hunting preserve license is required.
A bird hunting preserve license allows you to possess, propagate, stock, release and hunt the species of game bird approved and listed on the license. This is a commercial license, which also allows the holder to purchase and sell any of the species listed on the license and to charge others to hunt or take released birds.
