Excerpt from Legislation for the Protection of Birds Other Than Game Birds

It is generally admitted that birds which are neither fit for food nor injurious to crops, and more especially species which are insectivorous, are entitled to protection, but the laws enacted for their preservation lack uniformity, and many useful species are not now protected. Fully 90 percent of existing bird legislation has been enacted for the benefit of game birds, which comprise less than 20 percent of all the birds Of North America. The other species, which are of special interest to the farmer and the general public, have, until recent years, received scant protection. It is the legislation affecting this large group (more than 80 percent of the species on the Continent) which forms the Sub j ect of the present bulletin.

Excerpt from Legislation for the Protection of Birds Other Than Game Birds

Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith and to recommend for publication, as Bulletin No. 12 of this Division, a report on Legislation for the Protection of Birds other than Game Birds, by my assistant, Dr. T. S. Palmer. This report has been prepared in response to numerous inquiries in regard to existing regulations for the protection of birds. Its object is to present in convenient form a review of protective legislation, together with the various State laws now in force. The present widespread interest in birds and the importance of calling attention to existing laws in order to render more effective the efforts now being made to protect birds during the breeding season make it desirable that this report be published and distributed as promptly as possible.
