Endangered BirdsEndangered Birds

The birds that need help are mostly the same as those formally recognized as endangered, and there are laws that have been enacted about cutting trees and forms of pollution that can affect the birds negatively.

Other laws protect certain species of birds, which are usually migratory ones. In the United States, no part of any protected bird can be possessed without a permit that is extremely difficult to obtain.

This might seem harmless, but it is illegal to pick up any feathers and eggs you might have found of any sort. You can go to jail for illegally possessing the feathers of our national bird, the American bald eagle.

Initiatives to Help BirdsInitiatives to Help Birds

Seattle has laws protecting some endangered birds in their area, such as the Migratory Bird Treaty and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

The Endangered Species Act also recognizes threatened birds nationally and creates initiatives to help them, and Seattle must comply with this law.

*Hunting season is allowed in Seattle however.*
