[Sca-cooks] A Question

[otsisto]

Starlings and sparrows are not protected in Minnesota.
"Subd. 52. Unprotected birds. "Unprotected birds" means English sparrow,
blackbird, starling, magpie, cormorant, common pigeon, chukar partridge,
quail other than bob-white quail, mute swan, and great horned owl."
Though there may have been a change to the last bird as federal lists all
owls are protected.
You may have to have a permit.
Anyway, I am teasing about the hunt. I doubt that even if you got the
starlings that folks would actually eat them, no matter how delicious you
made them.

I believe Minnesota and perhaps other states have laws against hunting
non-game birds.  I would check local laws before sending out a hunting
party.
